KEY TAKEAWAYS
SourceAudio and Cyanite have partnered to integrate AI-powered music tagging and search into the sync licensing workflow
The integration allows 50,000 new tracks weekly to be instantly tagged and optimized for discovery
ReelWorld, Gramoscope Music, and Viralnoise are already using the combined technology to improve their music search capabilities
SourceAudio Cyanite Cyanite’s smart tagging
With SourceAudio’s extensive catalog growing by approximately 50,000 tracks weekly and Cyanite’s sophisticated AI analysis tools, this collaboration streamlines the music discovery process while creating more licensing opportunities and revenue streams for artists and music libraries.
A Powerful Combination for Music Discovery
SourceAudio hosts over 33 million songs and adds about 50,000 new tracks every week. The platform connects music owners with people who need music for their projects. Before this partnership, finding the right song could be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“By integrating Cyanite’s comprehensive music classification technology directly into SourceAudio’s platform, we’re delivering immediate ROI to our clients through enhanced discovery and optimization, ” said Andrew Harding, Co-Founder & CEO at SourceAudio.
Cyanite’s technology can automatically listen to music and tag it with descriptions that make it easier to find. Now, music libraries can choose to have their songs instantly analyzed and tagged as soon as they upload them to SourceAudio.
This partnership follows SourceAudio’s recent launch of SongLab, a suite of fully-licensed AI music tools
4 immediate benefits for SourceAudio and it’s users
The integration brings four key Cyanite technologies to SourceAudio users:

Cyanite’s Auto-Tagging feature
Auto-Descriptions: Capturing Musical Essence
Beyond simple tags, Cyanite also generates descriptive narratives that capture a song’s essence and mood in natural language. These auto-descriptions provide additional context about a song before listening to it, such as “a beautiful haunting vocal melody sings above a bed of soft sustained synth pads in reverb and echo”. This feature helps music supervisors and licensees quickly understand a track’s vibe and suitability for their projects.
Similarity Search: Finding the Perfect Match
One of the most powerful features now available to SourceAudio users is Similarity Search
Free Text Search: Natural Language Music Discovery
Perhaps most revolutionary is Cyanite’s Free Text Search Midjourney
Real-World Benefits Already Showing
Several companies are already using this new combined technology. ReelWorld, which creates jingles and audio branding for radio stations, is one of the first to adopt it.
“Adding the power of Cyanite to our services helped our clients find the right piece of music for their brand identity easier, faster, and more effectively than ever before! Having it integrated directly into SourceAudio is a game-changer,” said Craig Wallace from ReelWorld.
Gramoscope Music, which provides music for Hollywood TV and film projects Viralnoise
“This integration bridges the gap between powerful catalog management and seamless user navigation, ” says Alec Puro, CEO and Founder of Gramoscope Music. “Our music supervision partners know exactly what they need, and now they have the tools to find it faster than ever. “
Why This Matters for the Music Industry
Finding the right music quickly is crucial in today’s fast-paced media world. Music supervisors often need to search through thousands of songs to find the perfect match for a scene or advertisement. For those interested in the financial aspects of music licensing, understanding what music royalties are and how AI impacts them
With SourceAudio processing over 500,000 music searches every week, this partnership makes that process much more efficient. Music owners also benefit because their songs are more likely to be found and licensed when they have better tags and descriptions.
Markus Schwarzer, CEO at Cyanite, explained the value simply: “Rights holders use our tools because they know that enhanced metadata means better discoverability and more licenses. Now that they can immediately add their optimized catalogs to SourceAudio’s sync platform, the pathway to monetization is even shorter and more lucrative for our clients. “
This integration is part of a larger trend of AI-powered music discovery tools transforming the industry. Similar services like Harmix’s AI music search
SourceAudio and Cyanite teaming up is a big deal for how people find and use music online. SourceAudio has millions of songs that people can license for their projects. Cyanite has AI technology that can listen to songs and tag them with the right descriptions.
Together, they’re making it much easier to find the perfect song. Music creators can get their songs noticed more often, and people who need music can find what they’re looking for without spending hours searching.
This helps solve a real problem. Before, finding the right track among millions was really hard. Now, the AI can quickly match songs to what people are looking for.
This partnership isn’t about replacing musicians or creators. It’s about connecting their music with the right people faster. Musicians can make more money when their songs are easier to find, and filmmakers or advertisers can save time finding the perfect track for their projects.
