Apple Music Now Uses Shazam Technology to Pay Rights Holders in DJ Mixes

[CarlJ]

Urgh, just call it what it is - dance music and it's been popular for 40 years.

As long as you're trying to play big picture, why pin the start of it at 1981?

 

[Expos of 1969]

ZZZzzzzzzzz.....Apple Music grasping at straws in an attempt to become relevant. The recent releases by Kayne and Drake which have received very bad reviews are not helping.

As someone who listens to a lot of artist mixes, A State of Trance, ABGT, Vonyc Sessions ext. This is great news, I'm sure the hosts of these shows will greatly appreciate it as well.

YouTube and YTM should employ this tech.

"Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance,"

Sounds like you are 90year

In short EDM include all electronic but can include analog music that you can dance to.

Bu ppl dont go around saying hey that is dance music in modern time maybe back in the 80/90s

Lets all just be in a agreement that EDM is a genre and style and then we have all the sub genres like,electronic pop, hybrid trap future bass etc.

Does this mean producers can now upload any track using commercial samples without prior clearance of the sample because this tech now does all of that for them?

No, because usage rights are separate from streaming rights.

Because the Roland TR-808 didn't exist before 1980.

Cool tech. How does that work going forward? DJs play tons of unreleased music. Do they only get paid once the music goes public or will recordings of music not yet music being stacked until Apple know who has the rights?

define unreleased?
music they’ve created.

I listen to DJ mixes all the time. I was at uni in the 90s. Apple need to improve the access to these. You have to goto browse, scroll all the way down to categories, find DJ Mixes and there you go. Everytime!

Surely there's room for a favourite category option etc.
The above would give more money out then.

Wicked! Bruh do you know how long I’ve been trying to find this music?! I honestly gave up a few years back cause I thought Apple just didn’t offer it.

thank you.

 

[DeepIn2U]

No, because usage rights are separate from streaming rights.

Is this true for all countries and contracts artists have where a company that manages their works licenses?

bad reviews of artist releases are subjective and reflection of the artists work, not the artist themselves nor Apple Music nor Apple.

Spotify doesn’t make any profit , almost everything is already given to right holders , I don’t see how they could give more ?
Or I don’t understand how those things work?
It’s easy for a company like Apple and all its billions of $$ to say « you see we pay more »

lol. Almost everything is paid to the executives or shareholders then the exhibe it’s the costs for live recorded shows and Joe Rohan.

 

[richardjneo]

They’re absolutely not the first. Mixcloud.com have been doing this for over 6 years.

Can this be used as CSAM for audio files?

How much does Spotify pay per stream? What you'll earn per song, and how to get paid more for your music

Spotify generally pays between $.003 and $.005 per stream, but how much you'll be paid differs based on your distribution contract.

No let's not - EDM is a ridiculous term that yanks came up with when they rediscovered the music they already help invent in the 80's and 90's. Anyone in house, techno, garage wants nothing to do with the term. If anything it symbolises absolute cheese crap like Marshmellow and tacky fesitivals.

 

[dannys1]

It's not "dance music". If you have to leave out one of the three words from the acronym EDM, it definitely shouldn't be the word "electronic". If anything, it's "electronic music". The vast majority of all music genres is music intended to "dance" to.

I mean it's mostly house and techno. Anything but the ridiculous term "EDM". We managed in the UK to call it Dance music (and still do, we don't use EDM here, it conjures up images of a specific terrible genre of dance music) - Funnily enough Pop, Rock, Dance, were all top level genre names that were just easy to understand here.
