Spinlet Teams With Gracenote and Civolution to Bring Groundbreaking New Music Service to Africa
Spinlet will use the Mediahedge™ content identification and monitoring platform, a joint service by Civolution and Gracenote, to identify tracks and the origin of the music. The Gracenote and Civolution technology works by analyzing the unique "audio fingerprint" of a song to recognize and match to songs owned by copyright holders. Once a song is identified, Spinlet can use the results to determine if the proper licenses are in place to allow music fans to legally download the song.
"We are thrilled to be working with Spinlet to provide a platform that will help artists and labels thrive in Africa ," said Ty Roberts , Gracenote co-founder and CTO. "By teaming with Spinlet, we are helping Africa grow its independent music community while also providing a legitimate download service for millions of African music fans."
"Gracenote is the most trusted technology firm when it comes to backing digital music. This is the first such deal of its kind relating to Africa , which reinforces our commitment to fighting piracy while building a sustainable business model. Working with Gracenote and using their functionality provides a platform for us to provide the highest quality product to our users and helps us to more effectively protect the publishing rights of content owners," said Spinlet CEO, Eric Idiahi .
