Whenever I want to hear two guys discuss the music business news from two weeks ago this is where I turn to first.

  • Great if Extremely Limited and Out of Touch

    If you want to stay up to date on what’s happening in the music industry strictly from the major label perspective, this is absolutely the best you will find.

Episode 315
Q: What kind of financial impact does merchandise counterfeiting have on the music industry?

A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A conversation with Jaime Marconette
Q: What bold predictions or trends should the industry watch as we head into year-end?
Watch for continued diversification in languages and markets, growth in catalog emphasis, and the ongoing evolution of AI's role with greater industry understanding and potential regulatory or licensing shifts in how AI-used material is disclosed.
A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A conversation with Jaime Marconette
Q: Let's talk AI in more detail and how Luminate classifies AI-generated versus AI-assisted music; could this taxonomy become an industry standard?
Luminate emphasizes that AI is a tool, not a replacement, and stresses transparency; AI-assisted tracks are tracked separately from wholly AI-generated songs, with examples like AI remix tracks and the Beatles' AI-assisted project cited as references for clear labeling.
A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A conversation with Jaime Marconette
Q: How is the health of the music business so far this year, in your view?
Overall, the health is solid with a slight acceleration in growth; on-demand audio growth is around 4.8% mid-year, with more streams and higher percentage change in the first half of the year.
A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A Conversation with Deezer's Manuel Moussallam
Q: How does artist feedback influence the labeling process?
Artists can challenge tags; Deezer reviews the creative process, inspects artifacts, and may remove tags if the AI artifacts stem from processing artists weren't aware of, maintaining an open dialogue.
