The concerns expressed by independent music labels underscore an ongoing discourse within the music industry surrounding the adoption of augmented spatial audio royalties by Apple Music.
Apple has previously promised to launch Apple Music Classical in other countries. Recently, the company just launched it in six more countries in Asia including Japan and China.
Apple is reportedly looking to reward artists with higher royalties for spatial audio. For many years, Apple has centered on its different features and offers with Spatial Audio, and now, artists or record labels uploading this kind of music will get rewards and reportedly higher royalties.
