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, NV -- (CES - January 7,
2008) - 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™
and MusicDNS™ 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.
