Cinemo, a global leader in high performance and automotive grade multimedia playback, streaming, media management and connectivity middleware, announced further collaboration with Gracenote®, the global leader in music metadata and recognition technologies, to enhance next generation connected car infotainment solutions.
Karlsruhe, Germany-based Cinemo said that the partnership will see the introduction of a revolutionary new way to enjoy music in connected cars. Cinemo's technology that runs on advanced multimedia architecture using ultra-fast media management works with virtually any device and fully integrates the population of music metadata for Gracenote’s analysis. Cinemo added that the solution also serves as a complete solution to the needs of a media centric consumer in the car, enabling unified transition on mobile, cloud, head unit, or rear seat configurations.
Gracenote’s technology analyzes a driver’s music collection and listening behavior and assigns a unique musical taste based on its music metadata. A driver’s taste can then be used to help personalize the music experience by providing automatically generated playlists through Gracenote’s Entourage Radio platform.
