With the rapid development of information and communication technology and the rise of digital era, the trend in music consumption has gone through a tremendous change in recent years: from physical, online downloads, and streaming. The success of music streaming services depends heavily on customer’s continuance usage, a topic not yet adequately investigated in information systems research. It is unclear to what extent, and how, the existing theories can be extended to explain the continuance usage of such services. In consideration of the distinctive features of these services, this study adapts the dedication-constraint framework and develops a model of music streaming services continuance, which is assessed empirically using data collected from 315 actual users. Results indicate that music streaming services’ continuance intention is jointly determined by two mechanisms: perceived benefits (usefulness and enjoyment), and service-specific investments (personalization and learning), with the former playing a more central role. Perceived usefulness and enjoyment directly promote satisfaction, while service specific investments in personalization and learning increase switching costs. Theoretical and practical implications and future research directions are subsequently discussed.
