The Price of Music: Music Ally's *other* podcast – with Steve Lamacq and Stuart Dredge
Description
A quick bonus episode for you all, in case you have missed our new, other podcast, The Price of Music, your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. (You can follow it here on your platform of choice: Spotify / Apple / YouTube / other)
In the most recent episode, presenters Steve Lamacq ands Stuart Dredge get stuck into...
Listener Richard had a great question about music journalism – and Steve has a lot to say when answering: what’s changed about music journalism, whether music journalism is still important, where the music print media has gone, and what the future of music writing holds.
(Plus - does Steve get paid when his 1991 “Nevermind” NME review is re-printed today?)
Stu’s Big Number is 75 million – and they are “spam tracks” that Spotify has removed from its service in the last year alone. But what on earth is a spam song anyway?
What extra information do artists need to attach to their songs when they upload music?
Spotify has new rules around AI music – so what’s banned, and what’s not banned?
TikTok is apparently about to be sold in the US (maybe) – but why is TikTok so important to the music industry?
Why are old Billie Eilish and Rihanna songs re-emerging to huge popularity?
The Great Record Shop Album Filing Debate rumbles on – where would you file Elton John – “E” or “J”?
