ABSTRACT
The way consumers enjoy music has changed dramatically. Today, music consumers expect complete control of their music database-instant delivery of the music that matches their mood, suggestions for music that they might enjoy and immediate metadata about the music artist who is performing. TiVo Corporation contains a huge music database covering 3 million popular and classical album releases and 28 million music tracks. TiVo Corporation's metadata is built on an agile data management infrastructure designed to evolve with industry and customer requirements, including expansion into new countries. All Media Network is the company that owns and maintains Allmusic, Allgame and Allmovie. All Media Network was founded in Big Rapids, Michigan in 1991 by popular-culture archivist Michael Erlewine. The company known as Gracenote, Inc. distributes technologies in the categories of automatic content recognition, sports, metadata, video and music. These technologies are provided to American entertainment companies as well as worldwide entertainment companies.
