Spotify付费用户达3.06亿，签约Believe开发AI混音
据The Next Web报道，Spotify第三季度末付费订阅用户为3.06亿，同比增长9%；月活跃用户增长11%至7.88亿。营收增长16%至49.7亿欧元，营业利润增长15%至6.72亿欧元，但净利润从上年同期的8.99亿欧元降至5.18亿欧元；公司称所有关键指标均达到或超过指引。此外，Spotify与拥有TuneCore的法国音乐公司Believe签约，为其即将推出的AI混音工具授权音乐，该工具将允许Premium订阅用户额外付费制作翻唱和混音，版税支付给原艺人；Spotify还表示已从推荐中清理了5000万首AI垃圾和 spam 曲目。Spotify称运营支出增长26%，主要受营销以及云计算和AI投入推动，并预计第四季度付费用户达3.16亿、营收52亿欧元。
本季度财报显示AI投入已计入Spotify运营支出，同时公司在清理5000万首AI垃圾曲目后，为付费AI混音提供了授权路径。
