| All Media Guide Inks Licensing Agreement with WiderThan WiderThan has announced a direct music data licensing partnership with All Media Guide (AMG), a leading business-to-business provider of descriptive entertainment content and content management technology. Under the agreement, WiderThan will be able to deliver, as an integrated feature of the WiderMusic Service Platform, descriptive artist and album information – ranging from artist biographies to in-depth album reviews – from AMG's flagship music database. AMG's extensive database includes album art, artist biographies, album reviews, and complete discographies with individually rated albums. AMG content currently covers more than 6.9 million popular music tracks tied to over 771.000 albums and more than 276.000 classical compositions from over 118.000 classical albums. The database is split into 20 popular genres with 884 different styles, and encompasses more than 743.000 popular music artists and more than 73.000 classical performers. The WiderThan-All Media Guide partnership meets the needs of wireless carriers looking for a fully integrated mobile music solution. WiderThan will integrate AMG content with its ringback tone, master tone and full track download services. By integrating AMG's services within its WiderMusic Service Platform, WiderThan eliminates the need for wireless carriers to work with multiple vendors to license the rights to such entertainment content. This deal marks AMG's first partnership with a wireless mobile entertainment service provider. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
