Sony Music operates in 44 countries and territories worldwide. It has introduced new technologies into music production such as the internet, games consoles, mobile phones, and iPods. Sony Music can now distribute music through these new technologies by allowing people to listen on the internet, mobile phones, TV, and other programs. Artists are also marketed through various channels like TV, radio, magazines, and social media. Fans can consume and purchase music through downloads on iTunes or by listening on streaming services. Merchandising helps advertise artists and promote Sony through products unrelated to music.
