SoundCloud has finally made nice with all the big record labels it irked.
The online streaming-audio service has reached a deal to license music from Sony, according to a report by the Verge.
SoundCloud said it doesn’t discuss rumors when sought for comment by TheWrap.
After sealing a similar pact with No. 1 recording company Universal in January on top of its 2015 deal with Warner, the Sony agreement was a the final hurdle standing between SoundCloud and its goal of launching a subscription tier.
SoundCloud, known as the YouTube for audio, attracts some of the greatest numbers of music listeners online, but it has rankled the music industry in the past because of its early reputation for being cavalier about royalties.
