Digital music distributor TuneCore announced its partnerships with music identification technology companies Gracenote and Shazam.
In a press release, TuneCore COO Scott Ackerman said, “Our new partnerships with Gracenote and Shazam, and the integration of the artists’ music with their respective technologies, brings music discovery to an entirely new level, increasing the opportunity for artists to earn more revenue from the downloads and streams of their music from store partners including ITunes, Amazon MP3, Rdio and Spotify.”
This partnership aims to use Gracenote and Shazam technologies and databases increase artists’ exposure to more consumers by providing artist information, such as track titles and links to purchase the tracks.
Great news!
This is a very interesting collaboration indeed!
Shazam Gracenote and Soundhound can only sale! No other way.
No reason for excitment Mr. Tunecore – go back to the table and make them your best new era retailers – no ID just sales. As it is they work more often for pirates the musik industry
Otherwise original Napster = Ford Pinto
and Spotify = BMW325
If it will stay this way musicians will go hungry and Ek with his Spotify will be the King of shrank industry.
We’ve been supporting Gracenote for a while now.
And Shazam comes soon as well.
I wanna go to the launch party for this one!
My God this is AMAZING – PIAS, CI, IODA/ORCHARD, InGrooves did this in 2007!!Congratulations Tunecore in taking six years to catch up
