11:05 am
conference and onset, we have the chief executive of tommy boy entertainment, tom zimmerman. for is the opportunity apple in the music space? guest: they have been leaders in this music space and as they ownershipe digital sales model to a streaming model. pimm: i wonder if you can comment on what is the price point and why would the apple service have an advantage over spotify or pandora or diesel? guest: i think the advantage apple's going to have in the end will be its scale. it will have a huge amount of marketing money thrown at it. they have partnerships with big names artists. partnership with u2 in the past. you can get all of the access to all of the songs in their
11:06 am
library, and you can kind of share songs. it's similar to what beats music has now. ultimately it will be up to apple to convince people to switch from spotify, or more importantly if they will go after the people who have not yet started paying for subscription music service. they want to move over people who do itunes downloads to get them to pay 10 bucks a month. scarlet: adam, there are people behind you, it seems like they are protesting, wearing masks. what is going on? bit of as a little scene. there is a protester here. it's mostly developers. this is a big event for apple where engineers and software coders comment to learn what they are building so they can build apps for the phone, the watch, ipads, things like that. wonder if you can

11:09 am
if they can convert 40%, we're looking at quadruple the music business. and it's not going to come from spotify users. it's when to come from new people. scarlet: from new people, from iphone users. you -- appleto ask has been negotiating deals with major labels right up until the last minute. we heard from sony music that this announcement will definitely have to do with the apple streaming service. can you give us an update on that? yes, these negotiations went down to the wire. apple has been negotiating for different things, trying to get exclusive content. end, i think it's going to come down to still being a $10 a month service. there were talks earlier in the year about it being a little less expensive than what the other services offered. to work not been able out. a lot of the details today will be fleshed out. , i want to ask you
11:10 am
about music industry revenue. give us the outlook here. tom: you have to look at things on a per user basis. i must as a user pay for music every year -- how much does a user pay for music every year? revenue out the average per user is highest, far higher than digital downloads, and far higher than skills with subscription services and 10 times higher than ad supported services. scarlet: i need to ask you. taylor swift took her music of spotify. the beatles are not available anywhere. i know they are on itunes if you buy the album. the music industry's excited there are many artists looking at it from the old school perspective -- when you changed the mentality from a
11:11 am
record buying mentality and an average per user mentality, how do we maximize revenues to increase the overall value of have not beents able to put their arms around that. million subscribers worldwide. 6 million or 7 million in america. i'm sure it is up to 10 million in america. if apple comes on strong, we could be at 50 million just in america. which is amazing. there's only 27 million subscribers to sirius xm. much,t: thank you very adam, and of course, tom silverman, founder and ceo of the record label, a boy entertainment. still ahead on the bloomberg market day -- tommy boy entertainment. still ahead on the bloomberg
