DMT 178: Gracenote, Rhapsody, YouTube Music and more

This week on Digital Music Trends Andrea Leonelli chats with Jasper Donat (Music Matters) and Nick O'Byrne (AIR, Big Sound). They are joined by Rhapsody's Paul Springer and Gracenote's Ty Roberts who discuss the latest news around their respective companies.

One of this week's big stories is the YouTube Music delay rumor mill, as the company is reportedly having issues around the visual elements of music, but there are also reports that the licensing deals around the service are far from done.

The episode also covers Vivendi's sale of SFR, the Australian music market and reasons for last year's decline, Beggar's re-evaluation of the 50/50 model on splitting streaming royalties and much more.
