What if one of Al's biggest opportunities in music isn't creating more content, but fixing the infrastructure behind it?

In a new piece for Hypebot, OpenPlay Co-Founder Edward Ginis makes the case for an agent-led music economy: autonomous Al agents working across rights, metadata, royalties and registrations to resolve conflicts, automate repetitive workflows and help get creators paid faster.

Not one giant Al. A network of specialized agents working across trusted data and interoperable systems, with human oversight built in.

As Edward writes: "We have been waiting a long time for a music economy that runs at the speed of the music. Agents are how we get there!"

And if the release is already in OpenPlay? Even easier.

Open the release. Click Generate EPK.

OpenPlay automatically pulls in the artwork, artist and full tracklist to build the foundation for you.
Add the final touches, make it public and send one link.

Your publishing catalog could be leaving money on the table because of something as simple as missing data.

Verse…Publishing management built on one standard: complete catalog efficacy.

Every publisher should be able to look at any work in their catalog and within seconds see the parties who wrote it, the splits, where it’s registered, what recordings are associated with it and what it’s earned. One system, one screen, all information.

Introducing Verse, the way music publishing was intended to be managed. Simple, all-inclusive, pro-active.

OpenPlay EVP & GM Bob Barbiere was recently asked about OpenPlay's new Verse Publishing Management Platform. Here's what he had to say:

"Five years ago we began asking publishers a simple question: What's missing? They spoke... we listened.

OpenPlay Verse—a catalog management, agreement management, registration, and royalty analytics platform all-in-one. The end of conflicting catalog data, errors and omissions, missing registrations, and dollar after dollar lost because nobody caught it in time.

Verse, the way publishing was meant to be managed."

Coming this Fall: OpenPlay Verse.

One release. One platform.

Every release moves through multiple workflows—catalog management, marketing, publishing, partner services, analytics, and more.

Most companies manage those across disconnected tools.

One of the most persistent challenges in the music business is access to capital that doesn’t create operational friction.

Funding decisions often come with rigid terms, limited visibility into trade-offs, and pressure to restructure distribution relationships. What should be a strategic decision frequently becomes a constraint.

beatBread has built a different model.

Through its platform, labels and artists can evaluate multiple funding offers, adjust deal structures, and model different scenarios before committing — allowing capital to be aligned with long-term catalog strategy rather than forcing short-term compromises.

Now available through OpenPlay Connect, beatBread becomes part of a broader ecosystem where funding, catalog management, and distribution workflows can operate in coordination.

As Matthew Tilley, Head of Artists and Industry Development at beatBread, explains:

“As longtime friends (and fans!) of the OpenPlay product and team, we are delighted to be part of the launch of OpenPlay Connect. We’ve always advocated for more transparency and choice in the music business and Connect is a great step towards a more level playing field.”

beatBread joins a growing marketplace of providers accessible through OpenPlay Connect, helping labels and rights owners discover and integrate the services that power modern music operations.

Audio contains far more value than most workflows are designed to capture.

From licensing and rights management to metadata, localization, accessibility, and content creation, audio is often trapped inside disconnected systems and manual processes.

AudioShake was built to change that.

Using advanced audio processing, AudioShake transforms recordings into structured, usable assets through stem separation, lyric transcription, and audio analysis. By making audio more accessible and actionable, rights holders can unlock new revenue opportunities, streamline operations, and get more value from the content they already own.

Now available through OpenPlay Connect, AudioShake integrates directly into the workflows where catalog, rights, and distribution teams already operate, helping organizations move faster and make better use of their audio assets.

As Jessica Powell, Co-Founder & CEO of AudioShake, explains:
"The future of music operations depends on making audio more accessible, actionable, and connected. AudioShake helps turn audio into usable assets, while OpenPlay Connect creates new opportunities for those assets to move through the industry. Together, we're helping rights holders unlock more value from the content they already own."

Discover AudioShake inside the OpenPlay Connect marketplace.
