　　The music that composers make can be heard through several media．The most traditional way is to hear it live, in the presence, or as one of the musicians．Live music can also be broadcast over the radio or television．Some musical styles focus on producing a sound for a performance, while others focus on producing a recording, which mixes together sounds which were never played “live”．Recording, even of styles which are essentially live often uses the ability to edit and splice(接合)to produce recordings which are considered “better” than the actual performance．

　　In many cultures there is less distinction between performing and listening to music, as virtually everyone is involved in some sort of musical activity．In industrialized countries, listening to music through a recorded form, such as sound recording or watching a music video, became more common than experiencing live performances, roughly in the middle of the 20th century．Sometimes, live performances incorporate prerecorded sounds．For example, a DJ uses disc records for scratching(发刮擦声)．

　　Audiences can also become performers by using Karaoke, invented by the Japanese, which uses music video and tracks without voice, so the performer can add his voice to the piece．
