It's interesting to know that this is happening. It makes perfect sense given the shift in peoples' listening habits and the economic incentives for the streaming companies - but it's just not something I had ever considered before. But I don't necessarily see it as a "problem", and especially not anything new in the world of music (although maybe the scale on which it is happening now is new). Collections of background music have always been recorded by artists whose name you wouldn't recognize. You won't any recordings by the Berlin Philharmonic on your mom's "Classical Music for Relaxation" CD that she listens to on repeat in the car. But the recordings are good enough that they keep the listener happy, and using "no name" artists helps keep prices down. Everybody wins - except music elitists out there who don't think your musical tastes are refined enough.
