The video platform YouTube in a few weeks a paid muziekstreamingdienst begin to roll out. The rumor follows on the agreement that the company of Google with thousands of independent record labels has been reached.
The Financial Times suggests that YouTube is his relationship with the music industry wants to change. At the moment would be the video platform for promotional purposes, instead of musicians actually on YouTube earn. The streaming service would be more than a billion unique visitors per month, but Midia Research claims that only seven percent of that number is willing to actually have a paid subscription to take. On a billion unique users is still considerably more than for example Spotify with 12.5 million subscribers.
The possible introduction of the service follows a deal that Google, with so-called indielabels has closed. A few months ago, the company has even threatened to get the music labels to block. That allegation followed the fall apart of negotiations related to the financial matters regarding the new subscription service.
