Can APIs Solve Music’s ‘Crisis of Innovation’?
March 14 2013 | billboard.com/biz
- by Alex Pham -
There’s an old saw among established technology companies that says innovation happens elsewhere, that big ideas can come from small, unexpected places.
The best way to tap into that potential, according to this view, is to throw open the gates and let all developers build products on top of your existing, proprietary technology. Make it easy for developers, and good things are bound to happen.
That, at least, has been the ethos behind the steady stream of music-related application software interfaces, or APIs. Last month, two companies, Gracenote and MediaNet, quietly added their APIs into the mix.

MediaNet Startup Sandbox Gives Developing Digital Music Services the Content and Tools to Grow
Posted by MediaNet Public Relations | February 22, 2013 8:23 am | No Comments
February 22, 2013 – MediaNet, a leading digital music catalog, metadata and ecommerce technology provider, not only powers major global digital services such as iMesh, MOG, Myxer, Songza, and TurnTable, but also provides the content and services fledgling companies need to bring a concept through the prototype stage to customer launch with its Startup Sandbox packages.
The standard Startup option provides an array of content and services so a company can build out a true proof-of-concept, test its ideas, and demo for potential partners, at a low initial cost and without being locked into a long-term contract. For a consumer launch, it’s necessary to step up to the Plus option, which MediaNet will customize for each company once it’s refined exactly what it needs based on its Startup phase.
“With over a decade of experience in providing services to hundreds of digital music companies, we know how challenging it can be for a company to create that first iteration product and take it through all the stages to launch,” said Daniel Dougherty, VP, Sales & Business Development, MediaNet. “Our comprehensive Startup Sandbox options gives these early stage companies and concepts what they need to try their wings, and eventually, take flight.”
