The wearable device trend has many implications for music - beyond health monitors, there are 3G and 4g connected headphones, motion controlled, connected wristbands, sports training devices with programmed music.

Will these devices spur new ways of consuming music? The form factors will drive some of the behavior: many are single use devices for a specific purpose, and they are often minimalistic and small - so have little to no control mechanism or search capabilities.

With limited to no storage in wearable devices, are niche streaming and highly curated channels more likely than accessing your entire collection?

Learn from experts how music will evolve with the wearable device evolution.
