Musicube is the startup that built a suite of AI-powered metadata and music search tools, before being acquired by B2B firm Songtradr in June this year.
Its first move under its new parent company? Making some of those tools free to use for musicians and publishers.
Specifically, Musicube is making its AI tagging free, helping clients to create metadata for up to 10,000 songs in their catalogues without paying.
“We find that independent labels and independent artists are in a conundrum: they do not have extra funds to do advanced music tagging and this is preventing them from monetising their own catalogues,” said general manager Agnes Chung.
Going free is a move that could disrupt other companies in this space like Cyanite, although one of those rivals – Musiio – was itself acquired in May this year by SoundCloud.
