A class action lawsuit claims SiriusXM misleads consumers by adding a "US Music Royalty" fee to its advertised subscription prices, increasing costs by 21.4%. The suit argues that no other music services charge separate royalty fees and that these should be included in the advertised prices. This fee, shown as "plus fees and taxes," adds $5.13 to the $23.99 Sirius Platinum plan, generating significant revenue. Plaintiffs contend the fee is a core business expense misrepresented as a government-mandated charge. They seek to include this fee in advertised prices and seek over $5 million in damages. Similar lawsuits are ongoing in Oregon and New York. https://lnkd.in/g_Wxf_Cn #SiriusXM #musicbusiness #musicindustry

Spotify Clips Video Feature Still Has Some Issues to Fix Episode 607: Spotify Clips is a new video feature that Spotify is rolling out. Not all artists been given access yet, but Michael has a couple clients with access so he started testing it out. Spotify Clips is a new 30 second vertical video feature that will remind everyone very much of TikTok, Reels or Shorts. The problem is Clips is not quite ready and we discuss some of the issues that need to addressed… the Spotify FAQ telling you to build videos at the wrong size. Different size videos being displayed depending on if you are on a smartphone or a tablet. The complete lack of even basic stats, such as how many times has a clip been played. https://lnkd.in/gT22FWfs #musicmarketing #albumpromotion #tourpromotion #michaelbrandvoldmarketing #contentstrategy #digitalstrategy #musicbizweeklypodcast #musicbiz

I’m seeing more partial “Venture Studios.“ Should they be considered studios or something else? What do I mean? I’m seeing groups that apply some of the core studio elements 1) a repeatable playbook, 2) playing a (late) cofounder role, 3) making a capital or sweat equity investment, and 4) have a degree of decision control over their area. A few examples: A group that builds your sales and support operations groups once you have a product and have raised a Seed round. They support through the next round and fully setup your own sales and support operations teams, playbooks, training, etc. They make a small investment for a preferred stake and earn a common stake through their sweat equity. They own the success of these areas of the company and provide guidance on broader company challenges. A group that offers product management, design, and development from as early as idea stage. They play a core role in customer discovery and own product design and software development. The team they build your product with may fully transition to the company along with a full operations playbook and they help find and train the leaders than will replace them. They make no capital investment, but do not charge for their support, rather earning sweat equity. A group that builds your marketing team, delivering, marketing, branding, PR, and social influence for the company. They own creating the full marketing strategy, devising branding, building influence to drive sales and building a team for the company to continue with post-engagement. They don’t invest money, just provide everything for zero cost. They are not agencies. They don’t follow the direction of the company blindly, having a degree of control over their area of expertise. They own success, lead their areas, and integrate with the full company. In many ways they act like the CxO and team. They could displace the need for a founder. Their equity stakes look more in line with an accelerator and are often structured as fees treated as convertible investment, often with a cap. They are not full studios. They are either designed from the ground up with this singular focus or are a transition from a traditional agency to a full studio model. So the question is: Are they studios? If so, do we call them Venture Developers? Venture Operators? Fractional Studios? Let me know in the comments. I am VERY curious to hear the community’s thoughts on this.

Hell yeah. The initial iteration in 2022 of the world generation of CRETE was 45-55 seconds. Second one 25-35. Now we are hitting the 5-second bar (cutscenes are skippable) Once we move it to cpp will be a blink and no loading screen will be needed, this is because loading is almost instant and 99% is spent on solving the generation. Level streaming, loading what is needed and a backup that fires if after 4 seconds of trying to solve the procedural level and paths, will load one of the 1000 safe levels (Never triggered so far). There is a strong reason about the why, and it is because yeah... you will die a fair amount of times, and sometimes the difference between you trying again or rage quitting is not just replayability, but INSTANT replayability. Spelunky anyone? Countdown to the next public playtest: https://lnkd.in/dw7UXnET

Spotify plans to launch a new Premium music tier with high-fidelity audio later this year, costing at least $5 more per month as an add-on for current subscribers. This new tier, which includes advanced playlisting and song management tools, is expected to generate additional revenue for Spotify and its partners. This move follows a recent price hike for the individual Premium tier in the US to $11.99 per month. Spotify is also introducing a 'Basic Individual' tier, already available in the UK, which offers music-only access for £10.99 per month. The introduction of high-fidelity audio aims to compete with services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, and Deezer, which already offer higher-quality audio options. https://lnkd.in/gZVcsUs8 #SpotifyHiFi #Spotify #musicstreaming

"Youtube is for cat videos..." I erroneously believed when working at Paramount. How wrong I was! At 400K views per day and 745K subscribers, my 3 year old YT channel (https://lnkd.in/gXVhUtwR) is one of the largest movie channels on YT. Other distributors now place their movies because it generates more revenue than the majority of the major AVOD platforms for traditionally non-AVOD genres like family/faith, drama, and female targeted titles. Why? Because 2.5 Billion worldwide users trounce the 80-100MM primarily US based users on the current major AVOD platforms. And speaking of transparency, anyone can see title level views and direct consumer comments. A channel's success is not about the # of subscribers but the number of hours watched and views TODAY, not summed from 5-10 years ago. Here is a site that synthesizes all the publicly available information to verify a channel's real strength (https://socialblade.com/). https://lnkd.in/gXVhUtwR

They other streamers are gonna have a hard time competing. If cable bundling returns, they will do it. YouTube Accounted for Nearly 10% of All TV Viewing in March, Nielsen Says It’s the largest share for a streaming platform ever recorded by The Gauge, despite a 3% drop in total. YouTube was once again the breakout star of Nielsen’s monthly The Gauge report. During the month of March, the platform accounted for 9.7% of all television viewing, an increase of 0.4 share points from February. This is the largest share of TV for a streaming platform ever reported in The Gauge. This month marked YouTube’s 13th consecutive month as having the largest share among streaming services. Overall, TV usage dropped 3% from February to March, which wasn’t a surprise. This drop aligns with seasonal trends Nielsen has previously recorded. However, cable and streaming felt this impact the least. Unsurprisingly, streaming was the category winner of March as it was the only category to see a year-over-year increase. Compared to March of 2023, streaming viewership rose 12%, and the category added 4.4 share points. Streaming was also minimally impacted during the February-to-March drop. Viewership for streaming fell just 1%, resulting in a 38.5% share of overall TV viewed for the month of March. Though YouTube was the most watched streamer, accounting for the aforementioned 9.7% of total TV viewed, Netflix was close behind, making up 8.1% of the category. The company also boasted three of the month’s most-watched streaming originals, which resulted in a combined nearly 15 million viewing minutes for March: “Love Is Blind,” “The Gentleman” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Though cable wasn’t as impacted from February to March, it did experience a year-over-year decline. The category saw a decline of 10% and a loss of 2.8 share points when compared to the same time period in 2023. Viewing on cable from February to March saw a 0.7-point bump in share points, resulting in 28.3% of all television being watched on cable networks. This was partially due to college basketball viewership, specifically viewership around the women’s NCAA tournament. The matchup between Iowa and West Virginia brought in 4.9 million viewers on ESPN and ranked as the No. 7 cable telecast for the month. The State of the Union also gave cable a viewership bump, earning 14.1 million viewers for cable and 32.3 million viewers altogether. Despite this drop, The Gauge report made note of broadcast’s resiliency. Since the report was first released in 2021, broadcast has always made up the smallest share of overall TV viewership, originally accounting for 25.4% of TV compared to cable’s 39.5% and streaming’s 26.2%.

That wraps another year of Music Biz! While it is always a pleasure to share the Muze community and suite of tools with those who need it, I really love seeing what other people are working on and building. Some exciting startups to follow are First Rule for those interested in how music can be ethically impacted by AI, Open Sesame Media, Inc.‘s incredible SyncStage tech, and MAX.Live’s SET tools for fan engagement. Key takeaways from this week: 1. AI is here. A failure to recognize and adapt to the change in the marketplace will result in another “Napster”. Celebrate the opportunities instead of lamenting the changes while being cautious of the consequences. 2. The fan engagement era is still in full swing. It’s not too late to engage and no artist is too big or too small to build a community. There’s loads of emerging tools for the independent up to the stadium-filler. 3. Metadata is important. There are many challenges facing how DSPs, agencies, and other industry powerhouses interact with this data, but there’s a world of creative solutions for problems that most don’t even notice are happening behind the scenes. Looking forward to next year and giving more creatives an avenue for connection! #MusicBiz2024 #MusicBizAssociation #FindYourMuze

Morality question... I caught up with a few produstion company founders last week. All say they are recieving more CVs from voice over artists than ever before. Their conclusion was a reduction in the amount of projects currently in production combined with developments in AI. The AI tools available for voice over recording are quite incredible. Some allow direction of the delivery with countless voices, tones and accents for a fraction of the cost of a human professional. They even allow translation, and going further still they allow translation of interview footage into multiple languages with lip sync. I put this challenge to my team. They said: "if we would have used a human to perform a task in the past we should still do so". "From a creative point of view there's no replacement for emotionally charged delivery from a human voice artist". I currently find myself somewhere in the middle. Agreeing completely with my team but also wondering whether for the less emotionally demanding pieces of informative content this is a sensible solution. I'd value the thoughts of my network on this. As a B Corp it's so important to take the time on these areas. Our industry in particular faces some interesting questions.
