Gracenote announced they have been granted 2 more patents in the US. This to strengthen their position and technology in the online music-information market.
 The patents cover locating song information in a database by creating a key from the music and delivering synchronized multimedia to a PC playing a particular song. |
Such multimedia might include album art, lyrics and even advertising linked to a particular CD or song. Amazon.com and MTVi, among others, have signed up to use Gracenote's technology.
One customer isn't really satisfied with Gracenote: Roxio. As reported here they face a patent lawsuit. Roxio finds the claim unfounded. I most say I believe roxio in this case.
