Airplay Monitoring

MusicTrace monitors radio and TV stations around the clock and captures the music usage and advertising. The system used for this can recognise all the tracks in its database and registers the station and play length of the usage.

A wide range of different analyses can be generated from this data. Many of these results can be directly retrieved from the MusicTrace Airplay data portal. Here, for example, you can find Airplay Charts, the tracks played most on each station and usage statistics for individual songs. But our experts are also happy to generate customised statistics. For this, they can access a large pool of metadata, such as the language of the lyrics or the release date.

Our service is established throughout Europe. At present, we compile Airplay Charts in more than 20 countries. We are the market leader in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and partner with the local representations of IFPI in the compilation of the Official Airplay Charts. Our service is open to all interested music companies, promoters, radio stations and also to advertising marketers and publishers.

Audio Watermarking

Music Trace has taken the audio watermarking process developed in the famous Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Erlangen (Germany), continually improved it and currently licenses the software to interested companies.

It is possible with the help of this software to link hidden information with the audio signal and later extract these. This sounds so simple, but it opens up an enormous potential for different groups of customers. Thus, with the help of a watermark, the authorship of the work can be proven or illegal copies can be assigned to the original recipient of the track. The watermarking represents a very user-friendly solution because it doesn’t change the original format and so doesn’t require a special playback device.

Our watermarking technology is the result of long years of development and has proven itself many times over. We license the software globally. Our customers receive full access to the software. This way, you can integrate the technology into your existing system in the best possible way and you can also define the information which needs to be embedded in the audio signal.
