Predixis becomes MusicIP
It looks like Predixis has renamed itself MusicIP and they've added a few things to their product mix. Here's the press release. Their 'new' MusicIP mixer looks to be a renamed MusicMagicMixer (and it still doesn't want to run on my linux AMD64 laptop, ah well).
One thing that looks promising is the fact that they are open sourcing their music fingerprinting technology in order to encourage wide adoption. The code is here: MusicDNS.org the choice of licenses looks reasonable.
Most interesting is the partnership with MusicBrainz ... the other open-source fingerprinting technology. Rob Kaye, founder and lead developer of MusicBrainz says:
"I am excited about MusicIP and MusicBrainz working together. This new
partnership strengthens both of our offerings and extends the reach of
the MusicBrainz project into the commercial world, while bringing
MusicIP to the open source world,"
Here's the MusicBrainz press release. Looks like Predixis/MusicIP did a lot to make this happen, the MusicBrainz folk certainly seem excited about it.
