Manage
Media management begins with knowing what's in your collection. As consumers quickly amass thousands of songs, media management is critical to a user's experience. For example, the ability to navigate and organize large music collections is largely dependent on accurately identifying and categorizing tracks, albums, and artists that it contains. Gracenote MusicID® is the essential ingredient for digital media recognition of CDs, digital music files, and streaming audio. With the most comprehensive database of music information in the world, the Gracenote Media Database contains information for more than 80 million tracks and 6 million CDs in 80 natural languages.
Enrich
Gracenote has created technologies for consumers to enrich their media experience in virtually any media device. Gracenote Playlist's™ dynamic playlist generation technology allows the user to generate instant and intelligent music playback with the touch of a button. Designed specifically for music information, Gracenote MediaVOCS™ allows hands-free control of media collections. You speak a command to access playlists and individual songs. While users are enjoying their music, Gracenote also offers a convenient and integrated way to access related content. With Gracenote Music Enrichment™, listeners can access links to purchase full tracks, ringtones, and videos.
Discover
Gracenote's goal is to make it easy for consumers to discover new media. Gracenote Discover™ is a global music recommendation engine that helps consumers find new music that suits their mood and tastes. Recommendations are based on three different types of analysis—music expert editorial review, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) analysis, and global community preferences. Discover is also flexible enough to incorporate unique customer data into the recommendations. Our solutions are embedded in leading media players, including Apple iTunes, Yahoo Music Engine, Winamp and Napster. Gracenote's technology also powers leading home and automobile consumer electronics brands such as Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony, as well as international mobile music applications for KDDI (Japan), KTF (Korea), and Musiwave (Portugal).
