Technology Makes Professional Song Placement Easy for Both Songwriters and Music Producers

MusicIP Provides Technology to .Songs for Finding the Perfect Song

Monrovia, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- MusicIP, the first global music search engine, and .Songs (“dotsongs), a professional song placement service, have collaborated to enable a faster, easier method for professional song placement.

With corporate headquarters in the United Kingdom, .Songs’ business model focuses on placing unreleased or limited-release songs from professional songwriters and producers worldwide. Record labels, music publishers, songwriters, and producers, find .Songs to be an invaluable resource for submitting music, as well as finding the perfect song for their A&R needs.

.Songs is bringing something long-overdue to market—namely, ‘song search’ for A&R professionals. It’s a market with very specific needs, and we’re pleased to have a partner putting our technology to this use

To enable this process, MusicIP has licensed one of its core patented technologies to .Songs as a foundation to their .SongMatch® Service. MusicIP’s Acoustic Discovery™ enables rich connections between known music in the world and .Songs catalog of unreleased tracks. Acoustic Discovery is based on deep mathematical relationships derived from sound, and its implementation with .SongMatch® offers song seekers a method to easily single out that perfect track and stream near-CD-quality songs, similar to their favorites.

“.Songs is bringing something long-overdue to market—namely, ‘song search’ for A&R professionals. It’s a market with very specific needs, and we’re pleased to have a partner putting our technology to this use,” said Dr. Matthew Dunn, CEO of MusicIP.

"We are very thrilled about this new partnership,” says Raf Damiaens, CEO of .Songs, “MusicIP’s matching technology lets our time-poor music industry clients find new material in a fraction of the time it would usually take them. From now on, professional online song placement will be a much more enjoyable experience but also a far more accurate one compared to more traditional text-based only search engines. After all, music is about emotions, moods and feel. Not about several dozens of dropdown boxes on a web page. You really have to hear it, to believe it.”
