Overview
Transforming the radio experience
Broadcast radio is still the most popular form of media in the car today, yet the interface hasn’t changed significantly in decades. Many drivers and passengers still have to scan the dial to find stations based on frequencies. Also, the lack of consistent radio metadata and identification makes it difficult for Automakers and app developers to create rich radio experiences with simplified discovery.
Gracenote transforms the dial by allowing listeners to search for and discover their favorite music, news, sports and talk programming through rich displays and intuitive navigation, with Smart Radio Solutions that help people easily find the content they love.
Gracenote MusicID Radio uses audio fingerprinting technology to identify music playing on the radio, and displays relevant music metadata including artist, album, song and cover art. Gracenote Radio Station ID delivers rich metadata and imagery such as station names and logos. Editorial teams have organized and normalized radio music categories to simplify how drivers navigate and find stations.
