The Yahoo! Music Engine™ used with Gracenote MusicID® can identify and organize all types of music on your PC, including individual digital music files or tracks on a CD.

Once MusicID identifies the tracks, Gracenote Music Enrichment™ makes it easy to get to other Yahoo! content related to the music, such as artist information and music videos. Gracenote solutions also work in conjunction with Yahoo users own selected music preferences to provide recommendations based on the existing music collections of other users.

By using Gracenote MusicID, users of Yahoo Music Engine can maintain a highly organized music library. As a music collection grows, and grows in complexity, users have become burdened with libraries of files that are hard to use. Not only is there a lot of different music published in the world, but an individual track often gets saved with many slightly different names creating multiple copies of a single song. MusicID identifies individual songs using music editorial expertise, waveform digital signal processing analysis, and global community preferences. Once the song is accurately identified Gracenote MusicID runs the song information against Gracenote's Media Database® and returns detailed music information.
