First B2B revenue from select labels and artists expected in Q1 2026
BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ: AUUD) (NASDAQ: AUUDW), an AI-first technology company revolutionizing the audio landscape, today announced a pivotal milestone in its transition to a B2B business model where artists and labels subscribe to Discovr Radio to get their music heard on mainstream AM/FM radio station streams.
faidr App Now Free: Unlocking Premium AI-Powered Ad-Free Streaming
In a move to expand its user base and showcase its proprietary technology, Auddia has released the latest version of its flagship faidr mobile app, now completely free for all users. This innovative app delivers premium, ad-free AM/FM streaming and empowers listeners with manual song skipping—features previously reserved for paid subscribers. The free faidr experience leverages Auddia’s advanced AI platform to provide seamless, uninterrupted listening, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to driving mass adoption and engagement.
Strategic Integration of Discovr Radio and AI Artist Discovery Engine
The launch of the free faidr app marks the first phase of integrating Auddia’s cutting-edge Discovr Radio technology announced earlier this year. This upcoming platform will enable faidr listeners to passively discover new artists through Auddia’s proprietary AI Artist Discovery Engine, which intelligently matches new music to listener preferences and provides artists with guaranteed plays during traditional ad slots. Through a dedicated Artist Portal artists will be able to view detailed analytics.
“Making faidr free marks a turning point for Auddia and for radio listeners,” said Theo Romeo, Auddia’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re giving everyone access to premium, ad-free listening powered by our proprietary AI. And, as we roll out Discovr Radio, artists and labels will gain a new way to connect with streaming listeners who crave new and exciting music.”
At launch, faidr will serve as the first app integrated into the new Discovr Radio platform. Listeners will be able to like or dislike songs in real time, visit artist pages, and explore new music seamlessly within the faidr experience. Additional third-party app integrations may follow.
“We believe the future of radio streaming lies at the intersection of AI, personalization, and artist empowerment,” said Jeff Thramann, Auddia’s CEO. “By making faidr free and launching Discovr Radio, we’re setting the stage for an entirely new model of how music content can be experienced and monetized.”
Integration of the Discovr Radio platform into the new faidr app is expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2025 to early Q1 2026 with the platform going live in the first quarter of 2026 through a pilot program supported by early participation from select labels and artists.
