This week on Digital Music Trends it was a pleasure to welcome Neil Cartwright (Million Media), Syd Lawrence (wemakeawesomeshit) and Ryan Rauscher (Smix.Lab, Popakademie). We chat about Beats Music launching in January 2014, YouTube Music's upcoming service now expected in Q1 2014, the Spotify Artists initiative including the analytics play and the Topspin partnership, music-specific messaging opportunities, BT's upcoming music service, HMV's change of direction and much more.
