Indie labels cry foul over Apple Music's enhanced spatial audio royalties

Unnamed music executives told the Financial Times that producing songs in spatial audio adds $1,000 per song to the production, or about $10,000 for an entire album, and updating older music could be even more expensive.
Because of the cost involved, the label heads say the scheme benefits bigger players like Universal Music Group, which has the resources to invest in spatial audio and can take a financial hit if an artist in its roster doesn't record in spatial audio.
