While not directly aimed at artists, it can improve how releases are promoted and positioned on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vf5pfTJkK2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/apple-music-connect-relaunch-promotion-tools\/\">How Apple Music Connect can help kickstart your next release<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How Apple Music Connect can help kickstart your next release&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/apple-music-connect-relaunch-promotion-tools\/embed\/#?secret=vf5pfTJkK2\" data-secret=\"vf5pfTJkK2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Qobuz starts tagging AI-generated content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following through with points made in its AI Charter, Qobuz has begun tagging music and content added to the platform that is 100% AI-generated. The hi-res streaming platform is utilising a proprietary tool to analyse and tag AI content, helping to increase transparency for its users, much like Deezer. These tags will become visible in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ar0mpl60Ww\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/qobuz-taggging-ai-generated-content\/\">Qobuz begins taggging AI-generated content as part of AI Charter<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Qobuz begins taggging AI-generated content as part of AI Charter&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/qobuz-taggging-ai-generated-content\/embed\/#?secret=ar0mpl60Ww\" data-secret=\"ar0mpl60Ww\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Pandora AMP introduces Fan Campaigns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pandora&#8217;s Artist Marketing Platform (Pandora AMP) has introduced an updated suite of tools to help artists market their music more easily.
