The transformation of radio and its expansion to new channelsand consumer devices, added to the rise of podcasts and streaming music platforms, have led to the transformation of the audio ecosystem. This transition from the audio medium to audio media has involved an integral change in content, as well as in its production and reception processes. In this regard, the aim of this paper is to approach the present digital audio scene from the standpoint of its content, formats, and broadcasting models as well as of the new professional profiles, business models, and consumer–relationship practices, providing a snapshot that is completed with a prospective reflection on the challenges facing radio in this new ecosystem.  \nKeywords  \nDigital audio; Radio; Podcasts; Podcasting; Music; Platforms; Formats; Streaming; Audiences; Professionals; Business models; Mobile devices; Smartspeakers; Distribution; Audio media; Audio communication.  \n1. Once upon a time: Audio  \nFor thousands of years, human beings have been using sound to communicate and transmit knowledge to their fellow human beings. The emergence of the printing press, the printed word, and the image first coexisted with the voice and then took away its prominence, but digitization and connectivity are restoring its previous relevance. We are in the midst of an audification era. The popularization of podcasts, the increase in audio streaming platforms, the emergence of audiobooks and bookcasts, the interconnection of audio devices, and the growing importance of voice as a digital connection interface thanks to the standardization of virtual assistants and smart speakers have made sound one of the primary communication trends in recent years (IAB Spain, 2019; 2020; Kantar, 2019; 2020; Newman, 2018; 2019) .  \nIn the context of saturation of digital information and entertainment offerings, audio content has proven its ability to be heard and to attract attention, interest, imagination, and even audience engagement, which has led many audiovisual companies, publishers, and brands to boost its production. The diversification of formats and devices, as well as the convergence of screen media, has encouraged the emergence of novel forms of audio and content that maximize the potential and functionalities of receiving terminals to provide more immersive and interactive experiences (Rime; Pike; Collins, 2022) .  \nBeyond the techno-determinist enthusiasm characteristic of cutting-edge technological development, the leap to the digital medium and the diversification of access equipment has resulted in an increase in the attention to and the frequency and personalization of audio consumption (Moreno-Moreno; Amoedo","cbCainfPOOf8lbUw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainfPOOf8lbUw","pdf",1135133,"English","# Abstract\n# Once upon a time: Audio\n## From digitization to audification\n## New formats, devices, and listening practices\n## Socialization and individualization of listening\n## Covid-19 as a catalyst for online audio","[{\"question\":\"What developments have driven the renaissance of digital audio?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights radio’s transformation via new channels and devices, the rise of podcasts, and growth in audio streaming platforms such as music services.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the shift from “audio medium” to “audio media” change the ecosystem?\",\"answer\":\"It involves integral change in content as well as in production and reception processes, requiring new models and approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the article’s discussion of radio important during the Covid-19 pandemic?\",\"answer\":\"The text states that lockdown and health restrictions acted as a catalyst for online audio, reinforcing radio’s role while boosting podcasts and audiobooks.\"}]","Audio communication in the face of the renaissance of digital audio - Article overview | PDF",43]
