"Music DNA" technology

[1] Seattle-based Cantametrix can now finally test its digital copyright identification and reporting technology in practice. While the company had already been trialling its technology with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the likes of mp3.com, London-based Wippit became its first real customer. Wippit is an MP3 file sharing service provider, and it is also the first company to use Cantametrix's "Music DNA" technology to provide user-to-user services. Most current popular music sharing systems are not precisely tagged, so they are not listed in the central directory. In this case, users are unable to find their text lyrics. This is where Cantametrix's music DNA technology comes to help. It can find the metadata of these music, so music fans can get the most accurate music and the most precise lyrics information. In addition, Music DNA allows rights holders to identify and obtain accurate statistics on how their content is being used across all systems and platforms. Unlike other user-to-user services and free MP3 distribution websites, Wippit is preparing to use this new technology to do a very revolutionary job: turning loss-making record companies into profits. According to Wippit founder Paul Meyers, all companies that provide music download services through user-to-user methods will not bring a penny of revenue to recording companies, and Wippit is trying to reverse this trend. He said: "If music fans want to get copyrighted stuff, they can get it anytime, anywhere, and at least they can know who owns these works through Wippit, because we can not only identify the source of each recording, but also There's a system in place to ensure that you can charge for downloads," Cantametrix CEO Bill Koenig said at its headquarters in Bellevue, relieved that the technology was finally getting a chance to be demonstrated. He said: "Paul Meyers is a pioneer in the Internet field. Wippi is an ideal choice to showcase Cantametrix's technology." The company spent nine months developing the product. They couldn't have come up with a better time than this, as Cantametrix's solution comes at a time when MP3 file sharing issues have been making headlines recently in the wake of the Napster case. focus on. The company is currently negotiating cooperation with three of the world's leading music publishers, and they have also received a large number of inquiries from European music publishers.
