Auddia Shifts to AI-Driven B2B Music Platform Monetizing Artists

Amazon.com reported a 10% price increase last quarter, driven by strong earnings, record revenue, and ambitious expansion efforts including investments in data infrastructure in Taiwan and North Carolina. Despite facing legal challenges regarding market dominance, Amazon's growth strategies and positive financial outlook have supported its share price gains and long-term shareholder returns, outperforming the broader US market. Meanwhile, Auddia is shifting its business model from consumer-focused to business-to-business, launching Discovr Radio to provide AI-driven music discovery and guaranteed radio exposure for artists and labels via a subscription service. This new platform will integrate AI placements into AM/FM streams, targeting a large market of potential listeners and offering artists detailed analytics to enhance fan engagement. Auddia will make premium AI features free for consumers on its faidr app while monetizing artists seeking broader radio reach, with an MVP launch expected by early 2026. This strategic pivot aims to bridge gaps between traditional radio exposure and modern music discovery, positioning Auddia as a key player in the evolving music industry.
