Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Musixmatch on Wednesday announced deals with three major music publishers to develop analytical and non-generative artificial intelligence services with revenue streams.
The private lyrics and music data company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Bologna, Italy, signed trial arrangements with Sony Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group and Warner Chappell Music.
Musixmatch has more than 80 million active users for searching 12 million lyrics, including translations in more than 100 languages. For general users, plans vary from $1.59 per month to $14.99, and a free service is available for independent artists.
The company already was developing AI tools, including tagging "on things such as moods, genres, tempo, instruments and structure," the company said on its website.
Musixmatch is now the first company to work with music providers for "new ethically trained services and revenue streams using authorized catalogs."
