I think this is a hard problem to solve for a couple of reasons.

- Skew of supply and demand. There will be always be another musician willing to earn less money because they still get to do their ”dream job”.

- The need for background music. No matter how joyless it feels to produce this stuff, there’s a need for it.

I think companies like Epidemic offers an alternative route for musicians to earn some money on the side of their artistic vision.

Biggest issue which is more a philosophical one is how Spotify is shaping how we consume music.
