iM Media Labs Partners with MassiveMusic to Scale Music Infrastructure for the iM Media Hub

MassiveMusic’s API-based music delivery, metadata, and reporting capabilities will support iM’s curated channels within its unified, vehicle-native media platform.

The agreement adds API-based music delivery, standard and enhanced metadata, and reporting capabilities to support iM’s curated programming as the company continues to build out its unified media platform for connected vehicles.

iM Media Hub brings radio, streaming, podcasts, news, sports, audiobooks, video and other entertainment from multiple providers together with more than 100 curated iM channels in one consistent, personalized experience. Designed specifically for the vehicle, the platform integrates with vehicle systems and adapts to each automaker’s brand, interface and business model.

“Building a great in-vehicle media experience takes more than a great interface. The infrastructure underneath it has to be just as strong. MassiveMusic gives us proven music delivery, metadata and reporting capabilities behind our curated channels, allowing our team to stay focused on what differentiates iM: bringing media together in one intuitive, personalized experience designed for the vehicle.”

Jim Cady, Founder and CEO of iM Media Labs

Under the agreement, MassiveMusic will provide infrastructure supporting music delivery, standard and enhanced metadata to aid discovery and usage reporting for iM’s curated channels. iM will integrate those capabilities into its platform while continuing to develop and operate the application, in-vehicle user experience and broader Media Hub ecosystem.

MassiveMusic’s music-delivery technology traces back to 7digital, which launched in 2004. Today, MassiveMusic provides API-based infrastructure for digital platforms, including music delivery, metadata and reporting capabilities designed to operate at global scale.

“Connected vehicles are an important environment for digital media. Delivering a great experience at scale requires robust infrastructure behind the scenes. We’re excited to partner with iM Media Labs, providing music delivery, enhanced metadata and reporting capabilities that support its curated channels, user discovery and continued expansion of its music offering as the platform scales.”

James Priestley, SVP Global Sales, Licensing and Technology, MassiveMusic

The partnership adds another layer to iM Media Labs’ growing connected-vehicle ecosystem. In January, iM and AT&T announced a strategic collaboration combining iM Media Hub with AT&T connectivity for automakers. More recently, iM announced a partnership with Stingray to integrate TuneIn, adding more than 100,000 radio stations plus live sports, news, music and podcasts to the Media Hub.

Together, these relationships support iM’s broader strategy: create one vehicle-native media platform capable of bringing multiple content sources and iM’s curated channels into a consistent experience while preserving the automaker’s brand and control of the in-vehicle environment.
