Streaming is the way of the entertainment future, but the new 'Tapeble' platform shows that the streaming content industry need not be dominated solely by film and television content. The service brands itself as "Netflix for audiobooks", housing a huge database of audio content for a subscription fee.
Tapeble features all sorts of different content, showing the breadth of the audio entertainment industry. The site hosts content like audio dramas, audio documentaries, and audiobooks, to name a few.
The booming podcast industry shows that consumers are just as willing to absorb audio content as they are audio-visual, so a business like Tapeble is a great way to capitalize on that consumer behavior through a platform and style that is easily associated with the platforms they already use.
