In May 2024, Spotify was embroiled in a lawsuit concerning its bundled subscription plans that included audiobooks and music. The Mechanical Licensing Collective claimed this was detrimental to royalty distributions. However, Spotify's legal battle ended favorably as a judge confirmed that audiobook streaming is distinct and thus validated Spotify's Premium tier as a legitimate bundle. Additionally, the Women Podcasters Awards has opened for nominations for its second annual event to recognize women's contributions in the podcast sector. Meanwhile, PQ Media forecasts a steady rise in advertising spending for 2025, highlighting the importance of AI in marketing strategies.
