APM Music, World's Leading Production Music Library, Signs Content Distribution Agreement with AMUSE Entertainment

LOS ANGELES, CA (16 August 2007) - APM Music, the world’s leading production music library, signed a joint digital and mobile distribution agreement with AMUSE Entertainment Group B.V. to deliver its music catalogue to AMUSE’s global distribution network. The pilot phase of the program will see the initial ingestion of 500 tracks specifically selected from APM’s vast catalogue which includes such admired and high profile libraries as KPM, Bruton, Sonoton, Carlton, Kosinus, Electronic Arts and many more for a total library consisting of over 225,000 tracks.

“APM is excited to have tracks from our diverse catalogue also distributed to online and mobile channels through the extensive range of solutions provided by AMUSE,” said APM Music president, Adam Taylor.

AMUSE will provide APM distribution of its content initially through the mobile channels it powers, and then expand into new third party and digital channels over the course of the next 12 months. Additionally, AMUSE will leverage its ad agency relationships to integrate APM content into interactive mobile marketing and promotions campaigns. Under this agreement, AMUSE will provide APM with complete transactional transparency and control over both its content and permissions relating to distribution by territory and channel. AMUSE’s platform will manage distribution relationships in the AMUSE network and APM will receive consolidated reporting on usages and transactions on their content assets.

“APM Music has a broad and diverse music library that is perfectly suited for online and mobile purposes such as ringtones, an area which has already proven to be successful for APM. The AMUSE platform opens up additional exciting distribution channels for APM’s content. We are happy to be able to partner with APM in this new way.,” said AMUSE CEO and founder Jennifer Koster.
