The next time your favorite artist drops a surprise album on streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, it might actually cost you extra if you listen on a phone. A new wave of "mobile-only" pricing is being tested by major record labels, impacting your monthly budget directly.

This change could quietly derail your family's streaming budget, forcing you to pick between music on your commute or your home speakers.
