TEMPO TrackCheck™
The Perfect Blend of Rights Management, Clearance, and Curation
The Perfect Blend of Rights Management, Clearance, and Curation
“If you are an app that is using music illegally, you can make the smart choice to resolve your transgressions and become a legitimate business partner, or you can shut down. There is no other choice.”— David Israelite, NMPA President & CEO
YOU SELECT THE MUSIC — TEMPO INSTANTLY DISPLAYS WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO USE
TEMPO TrackCheck was developed to assist companies and individuals by facilitating the verification (clearance status) of titles available for use under existing music licenses, plus provide a new way to curate music across the catalog of titles that have been licensed.
What used to take weeks can now be accomplished in 5 minutes with TEMPO TrackCheck. Simply import a playlist, search for tracks, curate, or upload a list of tracks that you would like to use for your music service, fitness classes, mobile app, or video etc... and then use TEMPO+ to validate whether those tracks are available for use under existing licenses with record labels and music publishers.
TEMPO TrackCheck will also tell you why a track was not available so that you can target your licensing outreach to the right labels and publishers.
With TEMPO TrackCheck you can avoid searching multiple label, publisher, and PRO websites for clearance information and curation. Plus, you will no longer need to receive and set up internal databases of catalog files from the labels and publishers you have licenses with to determine what is available for your use under those licenses. TEMPO TrackCheck eliminates these cumbersome efforts that companies have had to manage.
Checking ownership rights could take weeks and you could get it wrong. With Tempo it only takes a few minutes to compare the tracks you want to use to what you have actually licensed. Tempo provides efficiency and helps to mitigate use of unlicensed music.
Curate directly on Tempo by selecting your music criteria (genre, decade, beats per minute (BPM), and duration). View available tracks under your licenses based on your curation criteria. Tempo is also full of pre-curated playlists with tracks that may be cleared for your use.
Identify the unlicensed labels and/or publishers for tracks that you want. Tempo creates reports of unavailable tracks that indicate the unlicensed labels and/or publishers. Focus your licensing outreach to cover the additional music you want.
The music industry is focusing on the use of unlicensed music and litigation is happening more and more. Historically, it was difficult to determine who owns what and what is cleared under your music licenses. With the launch of Tempo it's now easy to know what music you can and cannot use.
If you're developing apps, this will sound familiar... You have a handful of label and publisher licenses to include full length tracks on your music-centric gaming or karaoke app, but you need to know what titles are 100% cleared under your agreements.
Tempo Solution
You send a list of licensed rightsholders to be set up under your Tempo account. Using Tempo's Available Track Search, you choose titles to be validated based on your preferred Artists, Genres, Decades, and Beats per Minute (BPM). Tempo immediately returns tracks showing either 100% Available or Not Available based on your unique combination of licenses with rightsholders. Once the desired number of 100% available tracks has been validated, you can add these fully cleared titles to be used within your app!
Perhaps you are a fitness company that offers on-demand classes with instructors. You've tasked your instructors with creating fresh daily playlists for their fitness classes, which are live-streamed online and/or recorded for on-demand access. Your company has obtained music licenses to legally offer on-demand streaming for archived classes, but individual instructors don't know which titles are cleared for use in these classes.
Tempo Solution
Instructors create playlists of high-energy tracks on a music service like Spotify and sign into Tempo. They import their playlists to Tempo to validate if the selected tracks are available for use in their classes. Tempo immediately returns the tracks as either Available or Not Available based on your company's licenses with music rightsholders. Instructors can simply click 'Add Available Tracks' to create a new playlist of 100% cleared titles that will now appear in their selected music service.
If you operate an on-demand subscription service that offers music instructional videos (e.g., piano and guitar), chances are good that your users regularly request you to add current chart-topping tracks. Your current licenses with several major and large independent publishers may not give 100% clearance for many of these titles.
Tempo Solution
You create a playlist in a music service like Spotify selecting the most popular recent tracks. Using Tempo's Playlist Validation feature, you can validate tracks to see which titles are available under your current publisher deals. You can download Tempo's '24 Hour Search' report showing Not Available tracks. Using the Not Available Reason data as your 'roadmap', you can identify unlicensed publishers.
You're a music supervisor with many great ideas for music to use in a TV episode or film you're working on. Inevitably you can't determine who owns the recording rights or controls music publishing. You want to avoid painstakingly searching the internet track-by-track to find this information...
Tempo Solution
Easy! You create playlists of the desired music on a service like Spotify, then sign on to Tempo. Once you connect your selected music service to Tempo you can import your playlists with one click. Tempo processes your playlists and provides an instant report showing the recording and publishing rights information for each track.
