![]() ![]() That same club single is likely receiving a tenth of the direct download sales it was receiving in the TATW days It's not rare for the ABGT edit of a track to be the highest performing version of a club single. Like Armada, Anjuna now has the size, scale and infrastructure to deliver the show to spotify etc each week (big job!) and it's making a huge difference for artists on the show. Giving away two hours of free music each week no longer makes sense for us, the artists or our partner labels. ![]() When the podcast launched, the industry was fundamentally different - download sales and CDs were still the predominant form of consumption. Subscribers on the podcast feed were about 1/10th of what they were back in the day when we wrapped it up! Podcast feeds are not licensed for music (there was talk for YEARS about possible licenses being issues, they never appeared) and it's a risk for us to continue operating those feeds, effectively sending hours of content to unlicensed platforms, particularly when there's very large, very popular platforms that ARE properly licensed, provide distribution of music content at scale and can provide royalty streams for artists and other labels included in the show. The numbers of listeners on streaming services has been growing year on year, while the numbers on the podcast feed has continued to decline year on year. That investment in the show means we’ve been able to add more members of staff to the team. We're not suddenly choosing to make money of it, we've actually been steering fans to streaming services for the show for a number of years now. To clarify a few points on this topic that are raised in this thread. The pain of swapping from an RSS feed to a Playlist system will be less painful.

Premiered live, Available instantly on end But from what I can tell, this is a good first place to look when trying to find the new episodes. So I'm here now to try and help you transition to the new platforms.īelow you will find a list of locations on where you can listen to ABGT, Anjunabeats RR, and Anjunadeep Edition. I have read through and understand the changes that have happened here. Please share your take in the comments below.As many know, new episodes of the Radio shows / mix series have been phased out from podcasting library downloads. How do we do this? I have a few ideas but the discussion needs to start now. It has to start at the top and bubble up from the bottom. We need to unite – as an industry – to change this perception. We are perceived as being old and busted instead of the new hotness. None of those matter because we are not “cool.” We are not the bright shiny object. How those generations targeted by the Spotify promo actually do listen to a decent amount of radio. About radio’s effectiveness as an advertising medium. We can cite stat after stat about radio’s reach. The problem here is that radio is portrayed as being old without being cool. We are an anachronism, a cute bygone item that is fit only for nostalgia geeks or as a set piece on Stranger Things. Spotify has lumped radio into the category of outdated technology. Or, listened to an 8-track, if you even know what an 8-track tape looks like …”Īnd there you have it. “Or you could have spun some vinyl, or popped in a cassette tape. “You could be listening to the radio …” Taking a swipe at the competition? I’m fine with that. The promo goes on (and I’m paraphrasing a bit). It is always a nice gesture to show appreciation to your listeners. It starts with the simple phrase: “Thank you for listening to Spotify. However, a recent one got my attention … and raised my ire. Most of these are, frankly, lame and boring. Unfortunately, I get more promos than spots. I’m curious to see who is advertising on the platform. It’s because I want to hear the commercials. It’s not because I’m cheap (well, maybe a little). No one can build a better playlist than I can. I spent thirty years on the air and programming radio stations. ![]()
