Google has selected TiVo Music Metadata to provide select artist metadata and artist images for YouTube Red, YouTube Music and the Google Play Music store. Using TiVo’s music metadata offerings, YouTube and Google can connect music videos to artists’ imagery and songs for a more immersive entertainment experience.
YouTube and Google can also programmatically use the TiVo music metadata to design a more dynamic user interface that provides a more visually immersive experience. With TiVo Music Metadata covering 34 million tracks worldwide—refreshed daily and growing through frequent updates—TiVo enables content providers to give consumers complete control of their digital music in real time.
