Adaptr, a B2B music platform that allows developers to legally embed music into their apps, has signed a licensing agreement with Merlin.
The platform was launched in January by San Francisco-based technology company Feed Media Group (FMG).
Adaptr was designed for startups that raised less than $ 7.5 million and made less than $ 4.5 million in revenue.
Under the terms of the new agreement, record companies, distributors and other rights holders within Merlin’s global members can make their music available through Adaptr with immediate effect.
The news marks the latest licensing agreement for Merlin, which recently entered into deals with Tencent-owned music streaming platform JOOX and China-based music streaming service NetEase Cloud Music.
Feed Media Group’s other music partners include Warner Music Group, Warner’s ADA, eOne, A-Train Entertainment, Vio Distribution and Insomiac and publishers such as Warner Chappell, Kobalt, BMG, The Royalty Network, Southern Music (peer), MCPS and Audiam.
