MusicIP Partners with LyricFind to Expand Music Discovery Offerings with Lyrical Search
Provides Seamless New Music Discovery Services to Get the Most Out
of Your Digital Music Experience
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--MusicIP, a provider of high-performance music identification and
discovery technologies, today announced that it has partnered with
LyricFind, the leading provider of lyric search and display services.
The partnership will enhance MusicIP's MyDJ(TM) and MusicDNS(TM)
products to now include lyrical information, allowing music fans to
seamlessly and quickly access their digital music. LyricFind's Lyric
Search and Lyric Display services will be added to MusicIP's MusicDNS,
a web-based music identification service, as well as the MYDJ product
line of intuitive music discovery solutions for websites, desktop
software, and consumer electronics devices.
MusicIP's technology is designed specifically to help listeners
create playlists based on acoustic traits and characteristics - like a
favorite radio DJ. The technology can evaluate any song and provide
recommendations based on the user's taste in music. MusicIP products
take the guesswork out of song selection. Instead of scrolling through
an entire music library, MusicIP's one-touch scan and mix technology
allows music fans to start building a playlist in seconds,
rediscovering forgotten songs in their digital library while also
being introduced to new music based on the songs they already love.
"MusicIP is committed to providing high quality music
recommendations and empowering music fans to explore and delight in
new listening experiences," said Andrew Stess, MusicIP chief executive
officer. "Our partnership with LyricFind is an important piece of our
already robust MusicDNS and MyDJ products and enhances our ability to
deliver innovative solutions for the world's top brands and their
customers."
LyricFind's Lyric Search service provides music discovery through
lyrics, enabling users to identify music based solely on a snippet of
lyrics. LyricFind's searchable database of over one million tracks
ensures that users' queries are always answered. In addition,
LyricFind's Lyric Display service provides full display of over
500,000 tracks from nearly 2,000 publishers, significantly enhancing
the digital music experience.
"LyricFind's lyric services are a great fit with MusicIP's unique
technology," said Darryl Ballantyne, LyricFind president and CEO.
"Partnering with MusicIP provides us with a gateway into a number of
new and innovate areas in the industry, and enhances an already great
technology."
LyricFind joins MusicIP's 14 other industry partners, which
include Disney, Memcorp, Musicbrainz and Perception Digital. This
partnership will result in a robust music information technology
offering, while expanding both MusicIP and LyricFind's distribution
network. LyricFind's Lyric Search and Lyric Display services will be
made available to all current and future MusicIP clients, and be
integrated as part of the overall MusicIP product suite.
