Abstract

As music streaming services (MSS) involve various interactions with users during the music consumption process, it is important to understand the user experience and manage the service accordingly. This study developed a user experience model for MSS by theoretically linking the quality characteristics considered important by music service users with the structure of user experience. PLS analysis was then performed using survey data to test the model. As a result, functionality (search, browsing, and personalized recommendation), UI usability, content quality (currentness, sufficiency, relevance), and monetary cost were found to be key experience factors that determine the experience consequence, i.e., user satisfaction. In addition, in a supplementary analysis comparing domestic and global services, differences in user experience were found between the two groups in terms of functionality and content quality. The user experience model of MSS proposed in this study serves as a new foundation for theory-based research in this field and provides meaningful implications for the competitive landscape among music streaming service platforms and for their competitive strategies.

음악 스트리밍 서비스는 음악 소비 과정에서 사용자와의 다양한 상호작용이 발생한다는 점에서 사용자 경험(User Experience: UX)에 대한 이해가 중요하다. 본 연구는 사용자 경험의 '구조'(Structure)를 분석한 선행연구, 음악 서비스 사용자가 중요하게 생각하는 '품질 특성'(Quality Characteristics)에 관한 선행연구를 토대로 음악 스트리밍 서비스의 사용자 경험 모델을 개발하고 그 타당성을 검증하였다. 음악 스트리밍 서비스 사용자를 대상으로 한 설문 데이터를 분석한 결과, 기능성(검색, 브라우징, 개인화된 추천), 유저 인터페이스 사용성, 콘텐츠 품질(현재성, 충분성, 관련성), 금전적 비용이 해당 서비스에 관한 사용자 경험 결과(사용자 만족)를 결정하는 주요 요인인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 국내 서비스들과 글로벌 서비스를 비교한 결과, 기능성과 콘텐츠 품질에 대해서 사용자 경험의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 음악 스트리밍 서비스 사용자 경험 모델은 관련 이론 기반 연구에 새로운 토대가 될 수 있으며, 실제 플랫폼들 간의 경쟁 구도 및 그들의 경쟁 전략에 대한 의미 있는 시사점을 제공한다.
