  • Thanks for glazing TikTok

    Loved how you didn’t ask Ole any hard questions about why they don’t pay for music consumption and just sat there and nodded like a dummy when he told you about their new exciting plans to pay publishers in exposure, let musicians hawk their own CDs like they’re on QVC, and giving brands music to use in ads without paying for them (did Apply pay Feist for that commercial sync Ole?) 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. I’m subscribed to most music business podcasts and the first hand knowledge these guys have is unparalleled. So why not give them a better rating?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A Conversation with Deezer's Manuel Moussallam
Q: Can you explain how Deezer measures the accuracy of AI detection and why false positives matter more than high precision?
Deezer focuses on false positives because labeling non-AI tracks as AI would mislead users and undermine trust; they measure precision but emphasize minimizing false positives to ensure reliability in labeling and recommendations.
A Your Morning Coffee Special Episode: A Conversation with Dan Mackta, Managing Director at Qobuz
Q: How did Qobuz handle the 24-bit streaming era and what does it mean for listeners?
