Provider of the music industry’s leading platform for asset and catalog management.

12/22/2025

Together with Lydia Gregory (Tuned Global), Amadea Choplin (Vobile), and Bill Colitre (Music Reports), our EVP & General Manager of OpenPlay Reach, Bob Barbiere, has submitted a panel to SXSW London 2026 examining attribution, verification, and compensation in an AI-driven music ecosystem.

As AI continues to blur the boundaries of authorship, ownership, and identity in music, fraud and synthetic content are accelerating. This conversation matters, and we’d love your support in bringing it to the SXSW London stage.

Help us get this panel selected by voting in PanelPicker before tomorrow, December 23.

Music tech, data, and service providers —

In January, OpenPlay is launching the Connect App Exchange — a revolutionary new B2B
marketplace giving providers access to thousands of indie labels and publishers through a single API integration.

No sales pitches.
No custom integrations.
No data transferred by emails or spreadsheets.

One platform where music’s best providers can offer their services and securely exchange data
and assets with music’s top labels and publishers.

💰 Metadata is money.

Every missing credit or small mismatch can mean lost royalties.

As catalog values rise, clean metadata becomes more than a workflow step. It becomes strategy.
Here are a few ways to protect your catalog and keep revenue flowing:

1️⃣ Credit every contributor. The small details matter.
2️⃣ Standardize names, roles, and identifiers.
3️⃣ Keep everything in one place so nothing slips through the cracks.
4️⃣ Automate what you can. Let your system flag what people miss.
5️⃣ Stay current. Every version and reissue counts.

Every piece of data tells part of your story. When it’s wrong or missing, it costs more than you think.

👉 OpenPlay helps labels, publishers, and rights-holders manage metadata, royalties, and delivery in one connected system.
Keep it clean. Keep it consistent. Keep it earning.

A lot of labels spend hours every week on admin and operations that never generate revenue.
OpenPlay labels spend a fraction of that time.

We help teams cut through the busywork so they can focus on what actually moves the needle — A&R, marketing, and artist growth.

Less time in spreadsheets. More time building careers.

Every company starts with a spark. For OpenPlay, it wasn’t a business plan or a market strategy.
It was frustration.

As our Co-Founder Edward Ginis shared on the podcast, the way the industry operated at the time didn’t make sense. That frustration became the fuel to build something better.

The best ideas rarely come from perfection. They come from seeing what’s broken and deciding not to settle for it.

Every track has a story. From the moment it is created to the moment royalties are paid.

Origination, metadata, distribution, and royalties are all connected. When those pieces live in separate systems, things start to slip. Metadata gets lost, payments slow down, and teams spend more time managing data than moving music forward.

That is why we built OpenPlay. It manages the full life cycle of music in one connected place.
When everything works together, efficiency follows.

More music. Less work.

Delivering assets shouldn’t feel like running in circles.

If you’ve ever found yourself re-sending files, double-checking metadata, or wondering if the right version actually got delivered, you’re not alone. That pain point shows up in almost every corner of the industry.

The problem isn’t that teams don’t care or aren’t putting in the work. It’s that the process itself has been broken for too long.
That’s why we built OpenPlay Reach — a delivery system that validates assets on upload, adjusts to each partner’s specs, and gives you full visibility with clear delivery logs.

Reach isn’t about making distribution flashy or complicated. It’s about making it simple, transparent, and built for the kind of scale today’s music ecosystem demands.

🚀 A 7X increase in public performance revenue.

That’s what happened when we rolled out OpenPlay.

In this clip, our Co-Founder Edward Ginis explains the unseen challenge: extracting 8 years of data from distributor systems and web portals — and why access to your own data shouldn’t be a battle.

This experience revealed something crucial about our industry:
👉 Access to your own data shouldn’t be a battle.
👉 Transparency and interoperability aren’t “nice to haves”, they’re mission critical.

OpenPlay was built to solve this problem. To give labels, publishers, and creators direct control of their data, so growth isn’t dependent on someone else saying “yes.”
