<p><em><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/24/18514036/peloton-music-copyright-fitness-studios-gym-on-demand-media-strategy">The Verge</a> </em>cites one Peloton user, Ally, who says that &#8220;Random songs are plopped in the middle of an otherwise consistently themed playlist.&#8221; Meanwhile, the Peloton subreddit brings up dozens of complaints about the service&#8217;s subpar music quality. &#8220;I&#8217;m enjoying rides much less than before,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/comments/bfc2lm/how_do_we_give_feedback_on_music_downgrades/elciqkk/">said</a> one redditor, while another <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/comments/ba5m7a/anyone_else_think_the_music_is_awful_now/">said</a>, &#8220;I bought this bike because I like to ride to good music and now I&#8217;m forced to ride to terrible tunes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course, music is an entirely subjective preference &#8212; perhaps some riders would be quite content with the &#8220;2 Pink songs and 2 &#8216;Now that&#8217;s What I Call Music&#8217; tracks&#8221; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/comments/bfc2lm/how_do_we_give_feedback_on_music_downgrades/elciqkk/">lambasted</a> by one dissatisfied customer. But it does seem that Peloton knows something&#8217;s up. As one redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/comments/be0539/did_they_settle_the_music_lawsuit_has_anyone/elf20mi/">asks</a>, &#8220;Had anyone noticed it&#8217;s like the instructors are trying to convince you it&#8217;s good when we both know it&#8217;s not as good? They seem to make a lot of comments like, &#8216;This is a band you&#8217;ve never heard of, but it&#8217;s awesome!&#8217; and &#8216;Whoever knew____ could sound like this?&#8217; It&#8217;s awkward.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Peloton, the company has decided to remove songs identified in the aforementioned lawsuit, and customers &#8220;may notice this in the near term,&#8221; but reassured users that it has agreements in place &#8220;with all of what are known as the &#8216;major&#8217; publishers, record labels and performing rights organizations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Music licensing is an ongoing headache for numerous third-party service providers, from <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/13/gta-iv-vladivostok-fm-music-cut/">games developers</a> to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/24/spotify-pays-licensing-settlement/">streaming sites</a>. However, the industry is trying to find a wide-reaching solution &#8212; legislation such as the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/19/us-senate-passes-bill-modernizing-music-licensing-payouts-mma/">Music Modernization Act</a>, passed last year, will help. But until everyone is on the same page, companies such as Peloton will have to find workarounds to keep its high-paying user base happy.</p>
