Gracenote Powers Gravity Mobile Music ID App
Gravity Mobile has launched the MusicID App, a music discovery guide giving iPhone and iPod touch users the ability to identify music, conduct text search by lyrics, view artist bios and lyrics, listen to iTunes songs and view YouTube videos.
Fans can search using an artist or track name, entering a line from the lyrics, or by holding their iPhone or iPod touch up to music playing nearby. Once the artist or track is identified, the app delivers lyrics, cover art, bios, recommendations and links to iTunes.
The MusicID App integrates Gravity Mobile’s mobile content, technology, and application design capabilities with the Mobile Music Platform from Gracenote, which acquired Gravity Mobile in 2008. MusicID App leverages the company’s database of more than 100 million track. This database is accessed by more than 200 million users annually and processes an average of more than 4 billion searches a month.
The MusicID App is available from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
Gracenote (owned by Sony) acquired Gravity Mobile earlier this year.
