This week it was a pleasure to welcome Sophie Goossens (lawyer at August & Debouzy) and Darren Hemmings (founder of Motive Unknown) to the show.
On this penultimate instalment of our weekly appointments we start by chatting about a DMT all-time-favourite topic: Pandora’s quest for profitability and we also mention the latest CRB rate-setting procedures.
In other news, another round of Tidal-ness as we talk about Jay-Z’s tweets and wonder: should the company just stop with the hollow PR talk and come back in a couple of months with a more substantial plan?
We also discuss the EU Copyright Directive and the Digital Single Market initiative as PoliticoEU leaked some of the talking points of the upcoming announcement on the matter.
Finally we chat about live music subscriptions startup Jukely, as the company closes an $8m round and is set to expand to more cities.
I really hope you enjoy this week's show, have a fantastic week and 'till next time!

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a pleasure to welcome Chandler Coyle (Music Geek Services, Berklee), Mark Frieser (Syncsummit) to chat about the week's news. The show also features an interview with Joel T. Jordan from Synchtank.

Inevitably we open the show by chatting extensively about TIDAL's press conference. Just 4 days after the (in)famous event the tide seems to have turned against the company given the many obvious issues with the service.

We also discuss the upcoming Syncsummit London event, the integration of Spotify into the Playstation and what the console market means for music subscriptions and finally Coachella's renewed partnership with YouTube to livestream the festival.

The show also incorporates an interview with Joel T. Jordan, the founder of the company Synchtank, specialised in online catalogue management & licensing software for publishers, labels and other industry professionals.

I really hope you enjoy this week's podcast, have a great week and 'till next time!

This week on Digital Music Trends a packed show as I welcome Richard Busch, attorney at King & Ballow (who represented the Marvin Gaye estate in the recent suit), Joe Conyers, VP of Technology Downtown Music Publishing and Jim Carroll, journalist at the Irish Times to the show.

We start by talking about "Blurred Lines" and the jury finding against Pharrell and Robin Thicke who are to pay $7.4 million to the Marvin Gaye estate for infringing on the copyright of "Got to give it up". First up we hear the Gaye estate attorney who talks us through some key issues of this trial and then we comment on its potential repercussions.

On the show we also tackle McDonald's faux pas with the band Ex Cops and subsequent backtracking, Rock Band's return - can console music games make a comeback?, Bjork's exhibition at MOMA which from the reviews appears to be a tech #fail, the German music industry's 2014 results, Spotify's desktop tweaks, the Songwriter Equity Act, Kobalty's new round and quite a few tips from our guests about SXSW.

On the show we also tackle McDonald's faux pas with the band Ex Cops and subsequent backtracking, Rock Band's return - can console music games make a comeback?, Bjork's exhibition at MOMA which from the reviews appears to be a tech #fail, the German music industry's 2014 results, Spotify's desktop tweaks, the Songwriter Equity Act, Kobalty's new round and quite a few tips from our guests about SXSW.

I really hope you enjoy the show, have a fantastic week and 'till next time!

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a real pleasure to welcome Benji Rogers (President, Pledge Music) and Jessie Scoullar (Founder, Wicksteed Works).

We start by discussing On SoundCloud's $1m payment to partners thanks to high-profile brand partnerships and what that could mean for the company's future.

Then we  tackle UMG's 2014 decline in revenues which, alongside the recent management shake-up, could see the label revisiting its attitude towards freemium services.

I also take advantage of the expertise of this week's guests in everything direct to fan to talk about the evolution of D2F experiences. We debate whether they are being successfully deployed by the majority of artists or whether we're still looking at a missed opportunity. In that context we also discuss Amanda Palmer's new Patreon page which at the time of the recording had hit $14k and is now approaching $20k per 'thing' released.

Finally, we discuss SXSW 2015 and what my guests have planned so far for the festival which kicks off in just a few day's time in Austin, Texas.

I really hope you enjoy the show and 'till next time.

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a real pleasure to welcome Glenn Peoples (Sr. Editorial Analyst, Billboard), Andy Malt (Editor, CMU) and Mandar Thakur (COO, Times Music India).

We start by talking about Apple's suit including the difficulties the prosecution is having finding plaintiffs and we cover YouTube's new rights database that video creators will be able to consult before using a copyrighted track on their video.

Then Mandar Thakur from Times Music joins me to chat about the evolution of the digital music market in India over the past 12 months.

After that interview we chat about Grooveshark's new radio service, the Pirate Bay raid, SoundCloud reportedly working on another funding round, the vinyl boom and the iPod Classic's price soaring.

I really hope you enjoy the show.

Have a great week and 'till next time.

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a real pleasure to welcome Cliff Fluet (Lewis Silkin and 11 Advisory) and Eamonn Forde (Music Ally, The Guardian & more).

We start by examining the copyright exceptions introduced in the UK and talk about the judicial review process that is being initiated by music industry bodies who believe that that these exceptions should have been accompanied by levies on blank media.

We also chat about Apple's class action antitrust lawsuit that is unfolding in an Oakland court this week, Tesco's attempts to offload Blinkbox with Vodafone as a potential buyer, Cooking Vinyl launching a new royalty company and Kobalt opening up its Portal to its Label Services Clients. Finally we discuss artist's use of Instagram to promote a release.

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a pleasure to welcome Jimmy Chamberlin (CEO, LiveOne & original drummer, Smashing Pumpkins) and Brian Felsen (CEO, AdRev) to the show.

We open with the launch of YouTube Music Key, though it can be called a "low-key debut" as it's invite-only for now (drum roll).

We also cover the breaking news that Apple may integrate Beats into iOS as early as March 2015 and then discuss Gracenote's Entourage, Bandcamp considering a subscription feature, Uber's partnership with Spotify, BitTorrent Bundles opening up to everyone and much more.

We also hear from Jimmy and Brian about their respective companies, LiveOne and Adrev, so this is a show you shouldn't miss!

Although we recorded a few hours before the announcement of YouTube Music Key (that's one for next week) we do cover YouTube's deal Merlin and ponder whether that may convince more indies to jump on board.

We obviously have to chat about the other big story which is Taylor Swift's stance on streaming and Daniel Ek's response on the Spotify blog.

During the show we also cover the launch of the MTV Trax app as a partnership between MTV and MusicQbed, Kobalt's CEO talking about transparency, SoundCloud's deal with Warner, the BMI reassuring Pandora that the major publishers will stay on as clients, SoundHound's redesigned app, the new Composed classical music streaming service, Amanda Palmer's "The Art of Asking" and much more...

This week on Digital Music Trends a special pre-recorded show on music product design featuring Hannah Donovan, co-founder and design director of This Is My Jam and Rob Hampson, digital designer at We Make Awesome Shit.

Through the course of the show we talk about what drew them to designing for music products, some of the key challenges of the field, we discuss the advent of iOS7 and how that influenced the evolution of design for mobile.

We also look at some of the guest's most recent projects, Hannah talks us through the latest iterations of This Is My Jam and Rob talks us through the design of projects like the Jaguar Skills game, the NOW Music iOS app and the Tinie Tempah app.

All-in-all an unmissable episode if you're a fan of design or if you - like me - know very little about it!

The next Digital Music Trends show will be on the 16th of October - I'm taking a week's break - but hopefully there is enough back catalogue on the site to keep you going until then!

I really hope you enjoy the show, have a fantastic week and 'till next time.

This week's show is brought to you by Play MPE® on http://www.plaympe.com.

A special show today as DMT reaches its 200th Episode, and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than spending an hour chatting with Olivier de Simone (Urturn), Brian Zisk (Sf Music Tech Summit) and Kevin Breuner (CD Baby). This week's week show also contains appearances from Peter Tondstad, Chief Commercial Officer at WiMP, and Mike McCready, CEO at Musicxray.

We kick off by chatting about Apple distributing U2's new album 'Songs of Innocence' for free to anyone with an iTunes account at the end of the company's keynote announcing the new iPhones and the Apple Watch. Does this contribute to the perception of music being free? Was it "creepy" to see an album appear in your library without requesting it? We discuss this and much more, including whether the Apple Watch will end up on our wrists...

This show is not an Apple fest though as we had a tonne of news from other services including the announcement of a new high-quality audio service called TIDAL (developed by WiMP) debuting in the US and UK later this fall. Deezer also announced its own high-quality Deezer Elite service that will launch internationally on Sonos devices and will also be available in the US.

We cover Rdio's redesign and its conversion to freemium, Spotify's introduction of video adverts and 'sponsored' listening and finally Twitter testing a BUY button. A game changer or something people don't really want?

Mike McCready from Musicxray jumps on for a few minutes as well to talk about the latest at the Future Music Forum event which is happening next week in Barcelona (futuremusicforum.com).

As you can see, a packed show so I really hope you enjoy it,
Have a fantastic week and 'till next time!

This week I recorded Digital Music Trends live at Berlin Music Week 2014 and it was a pleasure to be joined by Michael Krause, Managing Director GSA (Germany Switzerland Austria) at Deezer, Janine Wuelker, Strategic Marketing and Digital Media Services at Finetunes , Phiona Okumu, founder of Afripop and Benjamin Lebrave, founder of Akwaaba Music.

This show combines a few news items with a look at some of the most interesting topics being addressed at the Berlin Music Week Conference.

We chat about the decline in album sales in the US, the situation in Germany, the issue of discoverability on digital services from an artist's perspective, startup hubs in Germany and in Africa, This Is My Jam's new Song Graph, the issues of transparency and fairness in digital music today, CD Baby's Free service, YouTube's new donation button and more.

This week on Digital Music Trends it was a real pleasure to welcome direct-to-fan expert Jessie Scoullar (Wicksteedworks.com) and supreme tinkerer Syd Lawrence (Wemakeawesomesh.it) to the show.

We start by chatting about Beats, as the acquisition gets regulatory approval in Europe and Vivendi declares the sale of its 13% share in the company to Apple, Ian Rogers is reportedly going to head both Beats Music and iTunes Radio, what could that mean for the company?

We also chat about Samsung finally introducing a premium tier for Milk (with a twist), Shazam's Mac app - creepy or cool? - and its new Resonate product, Rhapsody's mini acquisition spree with Exfm and Soundtracking and what Apple's acquisition of Swell could mean - do we need more integration between spoken word and music content?

On top of that my guests chat about their latest projects which are very very cool. Syd talks about Basement Jaxx's Power To The People project that just launched today, allowing users to contribute to the track and remix the contributions that will go towards the release of a charity single - check it out on http://www.powertothepeople.fm.

Jessie chats about her "Which Platform?" report that compares the most prominent direct to fan platforms analysing pretty much every aspect of what they offer so you can make an informed decision. Check out http://www.wicksteedworks.com/report/ for more info and to get a free sample.

This week on Digital Music Trends a special show focused on independent music featuring Senior Editorial Analyst at Billboard Glenn Peoples (billboard.com), cellist and composer Zoë Keating (zoekeating.com) and solo bass guitarist Steve Lawson (stevelawson.net).

We chat about:

- Bandcamp, why does the platform work well for artists and why do artists identify with it? Zoë and Steve share how they got started on the platform and what it is about the service that works for them.

- How platforms like Patreon, Bandcamp and Pledge can facilitate an artist's relationship with fans and what that relationship can mean to artists on both a human level and on a practical level.

- Streaming: how is it affecting "middle class" musicians and is the mainstream narrative of people's shift to services like Spotify correct? Should artists have more of a say on the rates they are paid from streaming services or at least the ability to negotiate them?

- David Byrne's latest comments on copyright review published by Glenn in a Billboard article this week.

- The Content Creators Coalition: can collective organisations help artists increase their bargaining power? Are there downsides?

- YouTutube's music service: after a high-profile staff departure and several stumbling blocks what's next for the yet-to-be announced service?

I really hope you enjoy this show, have a fantastic week and 'till next time!

We chat about: - Bandcamp, why does the platform work well for artists and why do artists identify with it? Zoë and Steve share how they got started on the platform and what it is about the service that works for them. - How platforms like Patreon, Bandcamp and Pledge can facilitate an artist's relationship with fans and what that relationship can mean to artists on both a human level and on a practical level. - Streaming: how is it affecting "middle class" musicians and is the mainstream narrative of people's shift to services like Spotify correct? Should artists have more of a say on the rates they are paid from streaming services or at least the ability to negotiate them? - David Byrne's latest comments on copyright review published by Glenn in a Billboard article this week. - The Content Creators Coalition: can collective organisations help artists increase their bargaining power? Are there downsides? - YouTutube's music service: after a high-profile staff departure and several stumbling blocks what's next for the yet-to-be announced service?

We start off the show by discussing the latest news around the review of the ASCP and BMI consent decrees by the US Department of Justice. The DOJ is now said to be looking into whether Sony/ATV, UMPG and ASCAP “coordinated” their negotiations with Pandora and in the meantime Sony/ATV’s Chairman is threatening to pull out of ASCAP and BMI completely, but is that actually feasible for the publisher?

We also discuss the “Fair Digital Deals Declaration” by the Worldwide Independent Network, Rhapsody’s unRadio product, SoundCloud’s rumoured equity deal with the majors and PONO gets a new CEO and new back-end service provider.

During the show I also chat with the CTO of Soundwave Aidan Sliney and he demonstrates the brand new version of the app which includes a messaging service.

This week on Digital Music Trends a real pleasure to have Lucy Blair and Darren Hemmings as guests on the show, which also features interviews with the CEO of Dubset Media Bob Barbiere and the CEO of Yonder Adam Kidron.

Of course we open with a discussion on the Beats Electronics/Music and Apple acquisition story, which has generated a significant amount of press whilst unconfirmed by either company.

We also chat about the successful Kickstarter for a limited release of a rare Aphex Twin record, news on the anti-piracy front as we look at a study from Sweden that shows the impact of the iPRED law, the new HADOPI guidelines and the UK ISPs considering sending some letters to naughty customers.

Finally we chat about Last.fm as it just emerged that Spotify tried to acquire the company before it got hold of The Echo Nest. In between these stories of course the interviews with Yonder and Dubset Media.

I really hope you enjoy the show, have a fantastic week and 'till next time!

Quite how we managed to stretch these three subjects to well over 1 hour and 10 minutes is beyond me but it was a really fun show - you'll have to tune in to figure it out!

This is the last "news" show for 2013 but there will be a couple of specials coming in the next two of weeks: an interview with The Echo Nest's CEO and a "DMT around the world in 2013" show with snippets of some of the best interviews I recorded this year so look out for them!

09:10 Rise in viewers this year for the VMA's up by 66% compared to last year. Is the public getting more excited about award ceremonies? What could be the cause?
16:30 Does winning or performing have more of an impact on sales in the VMA's/Grammy Awards?
19:12 Radiohead's producer Nigel Godrich follows-up on his streaming comments, but does this add anything new to the conversation?
26:19 PRS for Music signs a licensing deal with YouTube. What does this deal mean for YouTube, have they won over the societies with their current model?
30:40 Short break with Digital Music Trends' sponsor Sheridans
33:30 Nince Inch Nails went down a very traditional route as far as their releases are concerned, does this mean that the "majors are dying" mantra can be put to bed?
39:00 Pledge music hiring Julian Huntley as head of the Catalog division - is this approach going to attract a new audience?
47:37 Due to Spotify's new homepage interface there isn't a specific place on the client to check out new releases, how do people discover new music? We look at a number of apps and Darren talks us through Rdio's interface too.

DMT 146 Timeline:

00:45 Introduction of guests
01:10 Discussion around the 1.5% rise in Germany's recorded music sales
03:22 Streaming revenues in Germany doubled compared to last year
06:10 Rapidshare blamed for music piracy and will have to start monitoring external links to files stored within the server. Is this ruling by the German federal court practical?
09:45 Apple releasing iTunes radio. Major blue-chip corporations have joined the campaign. Will this Pandora-like model succeed compared to Apple's previous attempts?
11:50 Will the pattern of ads that will be shown on iTunes radio help or hinder them. We compare it to traditional radio and Spotify.
13:30 Will it hinder Apple by having such big corporations as sponsors, could advertising have been more targeted if they had been open to more advertisers?
15:00 Rumours of Beats Electronics ditching HTC, their biggest stakeholders. Is it a good idea for Beats to find a better deal with another company for e.g. Samsung?
17:00 Would HTC dig itself a bigger hole if it was to let Beats go?
18:30 Gigaom uncovered some details on the process of playlist curation spear headed by Daisy, will it differentiate them from other streaming services?
23:00 Short ad break from Digital Music Trends' sponsor Sheridans.
25:50 Bandpage's transformation into being the "Swiss knife of band's widgets". Partnership with Vevo and Xbox Music. How will this help artists and can this be a good strategy for Bandcamp as a company?
30:00 Lady Gaga's new single got leaked, Universal and Gaga appealed their fans to post links of all pirate links, yet the single did not sell as well 'Roar' by Katy Perry.
33:20 In terms of timing, Lady Gaga's single was released quicker than intended, do you think it resulted in a loss in sales or is the song to blame?
39:20 Soundcloud announces Google+ integration. How important is direct access such as this?
44:50 Rdio steps up internet radio presence. Will the Stations tab alter your listening habit?
50:41 Virgin Atlantic Red Flights to provide live entertainment to unsuspecting customers. Is it really a good idea?
53:00 Google Play Music All Access launching in UK and other parts of Europe. It seems like a great idea but they do not have an IOS app yet, can it still be successful? Or is it only good for Android users?

Show timeline:
00:13 Welcome and guest introduction
02:00 Japanese mobile carrier Softbank placed an $8.5 billion bid on Universal Music but Vivendi declined the offer. Is UMG really an appealing purchase for a corporate giant like Softbank? Does Universal hold a value as a brand in its own rights? 
10:00 Glenn you wrote a great piece which highlights some of the inaccurate statements and headlines that have been made in the press of late in regards to the digital music market and music streaming. How could generalizations be avoided and is it a case of being more specific with headlines as well?
17:50 And Spotify literally in the past hour filed its earnings for 2012, the company is still losing money but at a slower rate than its income increase so that has to be a positive sign right?
21:24 There was a great Op-Ed by David Macias from Thirty Tigers on Billboard on the hard numbers of streaming and looks at how if the US got anywhere near the penetration of streaming in Norway that would become a really sustainable income. This paints a rosier picture of streaming, but what are your thoughts?
25:28 In the US streaming companies are working hard to increase their customer base. Last week it was announced that Rdio would sponsor the Livenation.com page and become the default service on the site as well as a couple of Live Nation's country music festivals. What's your take on the deal will we see more of these in the next few months?
30:20 Glenn do you feel it's strange to see a company that is relatively small like Rdio sponsor the site of a giant like Live Nation?
31:32 And we can see here Rdio is targeting Country Music fans and the differences in purchasing habits between genres are indeed staggering. Dave and Glenn look at the evolution of Soundscan and how its advent affected charts and niches.
38:45 Pandora is now facing some issues with the FCC for its purchase of KXMZ-FM in South Dakota since ASCAP filed a complaint that could delay approval. Did Pandora shoot itself in the foot by being so open about its intentions with the terrestrial radio?
42:00 And finally a positive story coming out of Washington DC on the Martin Luther King JR Public Library working with Beat Club DC, a one-man digital music workshop working with elementary and high-school students to educate them about making music.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/4253885Fri, 02 Aug 2013 09:30:00 +0000Andrea LeonelliThis week on Digital Music Trends it was a pleasure to welcome on the show Glenn Peoples, Editorial Analyst at Billboard and Dave Allen, Director of Insights and Digital Media at North.com as well as bass player in British post-punk band Gang of Four....

00:15 Guests introduction
01:30 The White House Intellectual Property coordinator Victoria Espinel announced a new privately-led initiative to reduce the advertising payments made to piracy-based websites.
How do you feel about this new development, is it a victory for the music industry and will it have any effect? 
04:20 How do you feel the labels are going to perceive this move? 
06:09 In light of the PRISM revelations over the past month one has to wonder if it's a good time to talk about a joint initiative between the government and the biggest internet service providers in the world, is that a fair comment to make? 
09:25 In February a six-strikes system started seeing the light in the US as part of the Center for Copyright Information which includes RIAA, MPAA and 5 of the largest ISPs. What do you know about the Center and what it its mandate? 
Maybe we should start thinking about a rewards system, the stick hasn't really worked so far. 
13:00 Talking about Time Warner (which from what I've heard in New York does not have shining reviews anyway) how will consumers react when they start receiving these notices? 
14:40 Is this just an appeasement proposition and does it exist for any reason other than making the RIAA and MPAA happy? 
16:26 Kristelia talking about the Copyright Review you mentioned there are going to be some hearings tomorrow from artist that you'll be going to, can you tell us a bit more about what's going to happen? 
19:05 Is there a place where you can keep track of what's happening on that front and at the hearings? 
20:06 Zack you recently published a story on Forbes on the company Gig-it which is a Rockband meets Farmville concept as you describe it, can you tell us a little bit about it? 
28:35 Pandora, is the company going to push for a rehash of the Internet Radio Fairness Act this year? 
32:00 How do you see Pandora moving to improve its PR over the next few months? 
36:20 On the other side of the spectrum there are people within the industry pushing to get terrestrial radio to start paying for use of music, is this a feasible outlook? 
41:30 Aimee Mann has filed a lawsuit against MediaNet for distributing her works without a license. Are we going to see more of these lawsuits in the next few years as more artists start looking granularly at where their music has ended up and track payments from individual services? 
45:09 Orphan works is an issue that could be addressed early on in the copyright review, as part of that a database holding data on copyright would be an important step towards working out who owns what, is this a feasible project or is it too big of an undertaking for a government agency to take on? 
50:25 From what you hear on the ground are companies still finding it hard to seek out rights holders?

As they are both experts in the Japanese music market we discuss the subject at length including the recent news that it may overtake the US in revenues in 2013, the bumpy development of a digital ecosystem, the role of management and promotions companies, JASRAC and more. We also cover international news as usual with the partnership between Deezer and Foursquare, the launch of a premium option for Songza users and the RIAA changing its certifications rules for digital albums in light of Jay-Z's release. Also a couple of service notes with SXSW opening up the Panelpicker process and the release of Napster's documentary "Downloaded".

02:00 Foursquare announces a partnership with Deezer in 15 territories, is Foursquare pervasive enough to grant Deezer a chunk of new users?
08:00 The Japanese music market, on the brink of surpassing the US in terms of revenues, were you guys surprised? What is the current state of the Japanese music industry today?
13:15 The growth of the Japanese market has been tied to the rise in physical sales related to the J-pop phenomenon and very specific bands. This is not coupled with the growth of a sustainable digital market yet, is this a dangerous position to be in?
18:04 Who is the main provider of music downloads on "feature phones" and how do those work? Taishi talks about Recochoku and the availability of artist-specific subscription as well as on-demand downloads.
20:00 How come that these services didn't adapt to offer smartphone-based services too when the shift started happening over a year back?
27:00 Promic.tv is the latest website placing a focus on promoting Japanese music internationally, is there a lot of focus on breaking Japanese artists abroad and are Japanese artists working towards that?
36:45 The japanese authors society JASRAC is a huge part of the music industry in Japan, what kind of organisation is it, what's the perception of the society in JAPAN and how does it behave with digital services for example?
42:30 The RIAA decided to change its certification rules in light of the release of Magna Carta Holy Grail, implying that they will count the copies sold via Samsung as part of the certification process while Billboard stated they won't count towards the charts. What's your take on all this?
50:25 Songza launched a premium service with "Club Songza" priced at 99 cents per week.
56:00 What's the state of internet radio in Japan?
57:30 Napster Documentary "Downloaded" is available to download in the US

56:00 What's the state of internet radio in Japan?

As they are both experts in the Japanese music market we discuss the subject at length including the recent news that it may overtake the US in revenues in 2013, the bumpy development of a digital ecosystem, the role of management and promotions companies, JASRAC and more. We also cover international news as usual with the partnership between Deezer and Foursquare, the launch of a premium option for Songza users and the RIAA changing its certifications rules for digital albums in light of Jay-Z's release. Also a couple of service notes with SXSW opening up the Panelpicker process and the release of Napster's documentary "Downloaded". I hope you enjoy the show, have a great week and 'till next time. 00:15 Introduction and guests 02:00 Foursquare announces a partnership with Deezer in 15 territories, is Foursquare pervasive enough to grant Deezer a chunk of new users? 08:00 The Japanese music market, on the brink of surpassing the US in terms of revenues, were you guys surprised? What is the current state of the Japanese music industry today? 13:15 The growth of the Japanese market has been tied to the rise in physical sales related to the J-pop phenomenon and very specific bands. This is not coupled with the growth of a sustainable digital market yet, is this a dangerous position to be in? 18:04 Who is the main provider of music downloads on "feature phones" and how do those work? Taishi talks about Recochoku and the availability of artist-specific subscription as well as on-demand downloads. 20:00 How come that these services didn't adapt to offer smartphone-based services too when the shift started happening over a year back? 27:00 Promic.tv is the latest website placing a focus on promoting Japanese music internationally, is there a lot of focus on breaking Japanese artists abroad and are Japanese artists working towards that? 36:45 The japanese authors society JASRAC is a huge part of the music industry in Japan, what kind of organisation is it, what's the perception of the society in JAPAN and how does it behave with digital services for example? 42:30 The RIAA decided to change its certification rules in light of the release of Magna Carta Holy Grail, implying that they will count the copies sold via Samsung as part of the certification process while Billboard stated they won't count towards the charts.

Being in three different continents was quite fun as most of the stories we covered have potential international repercussions and it was pretty interesting to hear how perspectives may differ in different parts of the world.

Massive apologies for the dropped frames in the video version from around 4 minutes onwards, a Mac Pro is sorely needed to get the DMT recording up to speed and hopefully we'll get a sponsor on board in the next month or so to help make that happen.

Timeline:
00:14 Introduction and guests intro
01:30 iTunes Radio announced at WWDC, fall launch and US only. Understated or underwhelming?
17:00 7Digital launches a DMCA-compliant streaming platform which will be accessible via API
24:45 Pandora becomes a terrestrial broadcaster (by acquiring a small station) and aims to get preferential ASCAP rates as a consequence
33:40 Sony Music Unlimited slashes its subscription costs, what does that mean and will consumers respond?

00:17 Introduction of guests
02:30 What is Music Weekly Asia and how did the project get started?
03:55 So it must be pretty challenging to work with a team spread out across many different territories, how does that work?
04:50 There's also a language problem as each of the territories covered speaks a different language, how do you keep up to date with what's happening in the news given the language barrier?
6:35 Music Weekly Services recently launched a new chart service that is going to cover different territories in South East Asia what was the inspiration to start this and how important is it to have a chart?
08:15 How do you pull the data to put the chart together if there isn't an organisation that counts sales like in the US and UK for example?
09:38 At Music Matters the CEO of Deezer talked about the company and its expansion in a number of territories in Asia (it's present in Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore), first of all adoption-wise how crucial are carriers to adoption and how crucial are price points?
12:48 Marie, were there concerns particularly around price points expressed at Music Matters?
14:05 Matt, one other other issues is to get as much local content as possible into these services. Do you think services are making a good enough effort to bring local content into their catalogues?
15:50 Neil talks about the availability of music and means of consumption for people in developing territories. There are also licensing issues where not all the content that is available in the UK or US is available in the Philippines because
18:20 Many digital music services that are planning to have a presence in the region set up shop in Singapore, why do you think that is?
19:45 Let's talk about China, do you think it is a viable high growth market for the music industry?
23:30 Talking about downloads is there a big potential for growth in the region?
25:50 There appear to be a lot of streaming services available in Australia especially when you look at the population in the country it seems like a very crowded market, Matt what's your take on this from Melbourne?
28:44 Talking about advertising-based services, for those territories that are not dependent on the usual Google and Facebook are their competitors collecting similar data sets and providing similarly targeted advertising?
30:40 YouTube in many territories - excluding China - can be seen as the great unifier as it's widely available and popular. As part of that global sentiment there were a couple of events at Music Matters that were revolving around YouTube stars, how did those pan out?
33:37 Live sector, there's been an increase in acts travelling to Asia as part of their world tours, are artists aware of their potential to sell tickets in some of these markets? Matt, Neil and Marie talk about Festivals in Indonesia, Australia and Singapore.
38:30 Talking about support structures aside from the well-known K-pop factory in Korea, are there any other support structures for artists for example in the Philippines?
40:30 Rob Wells remarked on how Universal is placing itself as a competitor of large entertainment networks like HBO for example rather than of other labels, do you feel like this can become an issue if a label makes deals essentially as an entertainment brand rather than a music provider and does that damage the independent sector?
41:40 There were quite a few independents present at Music Matters, do you feel like they have a voice in the local markets?]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/4253889Thu, 30 May 2013 13:41:16 +0000Andrea LeonelliThis week Digital Music Trends is entirely focused on digital music news from Asia including the latest coming from Music Matters which took place in Singapore last week.

33:37 Live sector, there's been an increase in acts travelling to Asia as part of their world tours, are artists aware of their potential to sell tickets in some of these markets? Matt, Neil and Marie talk about Festivals in Indonesia, Australia and Singapore.
38:30 Talking about support structures aside from the well-known K-pop factory in Korea, are there any other support structures for artists for example in the Philippines?
40:30 Rob Wells remarked on how Universal is placing itself as a competitor of large entertainment networks like HBO for example rather than of other labels, do you feel like this can become an issue if a label makes deals essentially as an entertainment brand rather than a music provider and does that damage the independent sector?

To help me understand what's happening in the region the team of Valleyarm Digital and Music Weekly Asia including Marie Berst from Singapore, Neil Cartwright from Manila and Matt Campbell from Melbourne. Thanks for watching, Andrea Leonelli twitter.com/digimusictrends digitalmusictrends.com 00:17 Introduction of guests 02:30 What is Music Weekly Asia and how did the project get started? 03:55 So it must be pretty challenging to work with a team spread out across many different territories, how does that work? 04:50 There's also a language problem as each of the territories covered speaks a different language, how do you keep up to date with what's happening in the news given the language barrier? 6:35 Music Weekly Services recently launched a new chart service that is going to cover different territories in South East Asia what was the inspiration to start this and how important is it to have a chart? 08:15 How do you pull the data to put the chart together if there isn't an organisation that counts sales like in the US and UK for example? 09:38 At Music Matters the CEO of Deezer talked about the company and its expansion in a number of territories in Asia (it's present in Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore), first of all adoption-wise how crucial are carriers to adoption and how crucial are price points? 12:48 Marie, were there concerns particularly around price points expressed at Music Matters? 14:05 Matt, one other other issues is to get as much local content as possible into these services. Do you think services are making a good enough effort to bring local content into their catalogues? 15:50 Neil talks about the availability of music and means of consumption for people in developing territories. There are also licensing issues where not all the content that is available in the UK or US is available in the Philippines because 18:20 Many digital music services that are planning to have a presence in the region set up shop in Singapore, why do you think that is? 19:45 Let's talk about China, do you think it is a viable high growth market for the music industry? 23:30 Talking about downloads is there a big potential for growth in the region? 25:50 There appear to be a lot of streaming services available in Australia especially when you look at the population in the country it seems like a very crowded market, Matt what's your take on this from Melbourne? 28:44 Talking about advertising-based services, for those territories that are not dependent on the usual Google and Facebook are their competitors collecting similar data sets and providing similarly targeted advertising? 30:40 YouTube in many territories - excluding China - can be seen as the great unifier as it's widely available and popular.

The news of the week of course is Twitter Music so we proceed to review, analyse and ponder the many angles of this story, though I can't promise that is a linear process in any way...

We also chat about a couple of recent articles debating the decline in sales of the Top 10 and Top 40 titles in the US and touch upon rumours of Google wanting to clamp down on piracy websites by cutting off their funding.

The first part features some of the start-ups I met, so we'll check out Spins.fm, Pulselocker, JoyTunes and Yasound.

In the second part we move onto more established players and here I'll feature snippets from conversations I had with Lang Lang, Deezer's CEO Axel Dauchez, Chris Wiltsee from Bandpage and Jez Bell fom Omnifone.

The third part is DMT's very own Direct To Fan and Crowdfunding camp -- where we hear from Pledge Music CEO Benji Rogers, Kevin Wortis from label services company Girlie Action, Emily White from Whitesmith Entertainment and David Balfour from Finetunes.

Drawing closer to the end we hear a few bits of news announced on the show by companies such as UrTurn, Musixmatch and Musicmetric.

Finally DMT 119 includes a snippet of my chat with Martyn Davies on Midem Hack Day and it ends with the thoughts of journalists, analysts, digital experts on the conference and the relevance of Midem in 2013.

Nothing hugely uplifting but things could be worse... We also talk about Spotify's move away from downloads in Europe, Led Zeppelin considering licensing their catalogue to a streaming services (and is there a reason for any huge act not to?) and finally we end by talking about crowdfunding and the 2013 check-list for any musician or band - especially unsigned ones -  to kick-start the year and optimise the time spent online.

We talk about the latest developments in this field including implementation of “core audio”, the entrance of large music creation companies like Native Instruments, Yamaha and Korg into the market, stand-alone software synths versus sequencers, the Alesis I/O Dock for the iPad & the release of new hardware products for iOS devices in general. We also discuss the status of Android in this field and we finish by talking about what the future may bring for making music on the move - taking into account the inevitable hardware advances that will be taking place in the next couple of years.

SoundOut was recently nominated in the Best Innovation or Gadget category at the BT Digital Music Awards 2011.

SoundOut has created a community of Scouts that built up via word of mouth - they are encouraged to evaluate each track based on how well they think it will do commercially rather than on whether they personally like it or not. The Scouts are paid a small fee (2 to 20 cents depending on how good they are) for each review they post and the review themselves are evaluated by the company’s semantic technology to check on how good they are.

Based on these reviews SoundOut is able to generate reports at different levels of complexity - starting at just $30 for the Standard report which contains 80 reviews delivered within 5 days all the way to $149 for the Pro report which contains a whole host of additional information as well as 200 review, demographic analysis, possibility to isolate UK or US reviewers etc. If you’d like to download a sample report check out http://www.soundout.com/Gallery/126.pdf.

It seems like a very interesting way to go about looking at the commercial viability of a track and with large radio stations and labels regularly commissioning SoundOut reports it looks like they’ve tapped into the right market, let me know what you think!
