Subscription bundling in the music industry refers to offering music streaming services as part of a larger package, often alongside other digital services like video streaming, gaming, or mobile network plans. This strategy aims to attract cost-conscious consumers by providing discounted access to multiple services compared to subscribing to each separately. While beneficial for consumers, it has raised concerns among music publishers and songwriters regarding potential reductions in mechanical royalties. For example, Spotify's decision to bundle audiobooks with its premium music subscriptions has led to disputes over royalty payments, with projections indicating significant revenue losses for songwriters.
