Abstract

With the iterative development of new media technology, the forms and means of information dissemination are constantly being enriched, bringing about the recovery of the "ear economy". At the same time, with the development of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and AIGC, the digital content industry is also undergoing profound changes. This article aims to take the "XiaoYuZhou" app as a typical case analysis and discuss the development status and trend of auditory software in the new media era. Analyze the restructuring effects of AIGC on podcast software in four dimensions: content production, distribution mechanism, user experience and business model. Combined with relevant theories and cases, this paper discusses the development trend of auditory software in the environment of new media and artificial intelligence, and puts forward suggestions and prospects for future development.
