Hi, ho we’re off to the original Cambridge across the pond with a recent story in Impact, the UK Music Publishers Association trade magazine. Juliana Koranteng spoke with Erich and Michael for background on music recommendation technology at-large. Check it here.
Here’s a quote from Deirdre over at our customer eMusic explaining why MediaUnbound recommendations are so important:
Deirdre Stone, US-based head of product development for digital download platform eMusic, says recommendation systems have contributed to the retailer’s status as the second biggest online-music store after iTunes. “We don’t have content from the major labels,” she says. “If our end-users come looking for Bruce Springsteen or U2, we won’t have them, but we are able to suggest similar repertoire.”
