In this week's episode of Other Record Labels, we're diving deep into the top stories shaking up the music industry and how they directly impact record labels. Host Scott is joined by special guest Sam Taylor from Complete Music Update to unpack the latest developments and their implications for the industry at large.
First up on the agenda is the controversial revelation surrounding Apple's Spatial Audio pay structure. Sam sheds light on the disappointing reality that only a select few distributors stand to benefit, leaving many artists facing diminished royalties.
Next, the conversation shifts to Spotify's surprising Sub-1000 Stream Policy, sending shockwaves through the indie community. Learn why the requirement of 1000 streams from 500 unique fans before royalties are paid is a major hurdle for independent artists and labels.
Lastly, Sam shares insights into the collapse of 3tone Music, a cautionary tale exposing the vulnerabilities of digital distribution platforms. As the journalist who broke the story, Sam provides valuable perspective on the lack of accountability and protections in the industry.
Tune in for essential insights and expert analysis that every label owner and industry enthusiast needs to hear.
