Google has selected TiVo Music Metadata to provide artist metadata and artist images for YouTube Red, YouTube Music and the Google Play Music store.
The metadata, which covers 34 million tracks worldwide, is refreshed daily. It will combine with a more dynamic user interface for a more visually immersive experience.
“In addition to the incredible range of our collection, TiVo Music Metadata has a unique ability to go beyond traditional tracking, linking musical library content with other relevant artist or album info, which provides a wider span of context for the listener,” said Roz Ho, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer and Metadata, TiVo. “The dynamic features of our metadata made it the ideal fit for Google’s musical platforms, allowing them to create stronger entertainment experiences.”
TiVo says its Music Metadata enables music distributors and creators to differentiate their services, increase content usage and drive sales.
