AMG Adds Lyric Search Technology
For Easier Music Discovery
 Partnership
With LyricFind Gives Leading Entertainment
Data Service Powerful New Search Tool
Ann Arbor/Toronto, January 16, 2007
- Making it faster and easier for music lovers to find
any song simply by knowing some of the lyrics, All
Media Guide (AMG), the premier technology and content
database provider for exploring music, movies, and games,
has announced a partnership with LyricFind,
the premier source of song lyrics online, to offer lyric
search and display capabilities on devices and Websites.
“LyricFind’s technology provides AMG with
a powerful new tool to help users find new music,”
said Andrew Stess, AMG vice president of consumer electronics.
“Now our customers will be able to offer consumers
the ability to search our database not only by traditional
artist and title methods, but also by the one thing
that people tend to remember from a song: the lyrics.”
Under the agreement, AMG will integrate LyricFind’s
two unique technologies for lyric search and lyric display
into its suite of products, while also gaining the license
to resell any of LyricFind’s technologies and
services to AMG’s own customers. Through AMG’s
partnership with LyricFind, music retail partners will
have the ability to add lyrics-based search to their
browsing experience. Similarly, CE device manufacturers
can enable their users to sort and categorize their
own music, as well as being able to view the lyrics
for the songs in their collections. The technology agreement
also lets LyricFind provide basic AMG data to its own
clients.
“Partnering with AMG makes for a win-win situation,”
said Darryl Ballantyne, president of LyricFind. “For
15 years, AMG has been the leader in music and entertainment
data. We are able to provide our clients with superior
quality meta data and easily integrate our services
with AMG’s existing clients, as well as showcase
our services on the allmusic.com
site.”
