Hi Friend,

On this week's Inner Circle Podcast episode, the latest music production and business news, featuring AI copyright lawsuits, royalty disputes, and how changing listener habits are reshaping the music industry right now. 

I cover how US recorded music revenue hitting $6 billion in the first half of the year, with CDs up 59%. 

And also explain what a San Jose Sharks arena crowd rejecting an AI goal song tells independent artists. . . 

Universal Music Group is suing DistroKid for up to $150 million over undisclosed AI-generated tracks. . . 

And a proposed mechanical royalty settlement would drop songwriter pay below the current 13.1 cents per song rate.

You can hear it at bobbyoinnercircle.com, or via Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Mixcloud, Spotify, Deezer, and TuneIn Radio.

Also, a video version of this podcast is now available on YouTube as well.

Enjoy the show!

Bobby
