[Podcast] SXSW 2025 – Scrubbing the System: Music Data Management Today
I enjoyed returning to SXSW earlier this month and the opportunity to join Jay Gilbert, Molly Neuman, and Rell Lafargue in discussing how companies are tackling and innovating on the challenge of music metadata.
Check out this podcast of our panel “Scrubbing the System: Music Data Management Today.”
[Podcast] SXSW 2025 – Crafting a Transparent Future for Music Rightsholders
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of moderating the panel “Crafting a Transparent Future for Music Rightsholders” at SXSW. Joining me on stage were Chantal Epp (ClicknClear), Diego Maldonado (ONErpm), and Josh Simons (Vinyl Group). These companies are among the over 500 entities around the world that access The Mechanical Licensing Collective’s data through one or more of our data programs.
Click here to listen to the SXSW panel podcast to hear what we had to say about the future of transparency in music rights and data management on this podcast recording of our session.
View the PDF of the slides that were presented during the panel discussion. You can follow along with how the slides were presented by starting the podcast at audio mark 23:55.
Bonus: Below is a recording of a related webinar that I hosted last year during which each of these companies demonstrated how they leverage The MLC’s data in their businesses. Watch “Exploring The Use of The MLC’s Data: A Showcase of Three Companies”.
In accordance with the Music Modernization Act of 2018, The MLC develops and maintains a variety of data programs that are accessible to a diversity of companies around the world. The MLC’s database boasts over 30 Million musical works, with associated ownership information and matched sound recordings, and is enriched by our members and partners. As mandated by the MMA, The MLC makes the data available in bulk machine-readable formats and via an API.
Join The MLC’s Head of Third-Party Partnerships, Dae Bogan, in this 60-minute webinar showcasing real-world examples of The MLC’s data programs in use by differentiated technology companies around the world. Each of the selected showcase companies — ClickNClear (UK), Jaxsta (Australia), and ONErpm (Colombia) — will explain and demonstrate how it leverages The MLC’s data programs in the solutions that it offers to the music industry or in its backend operations.
Speakers:
· Jaxsta Showcase (Bulk Data Access Subscription) by Ben Orme, Jaxsta Product Lead / Business Development
· ClickNClear Showcase (Public Search API) by Chantal Epp, Founder & CEO
· ONErpm Showcase (DURP) by Diego Maldonado, Global Head of Publishing & Rights Management
