NEW YORK - Manhattan Production Music (www.mpmmusic.com) has recently finalized a deal with Apple's metadata provider that allows for the encoding of the entire Live Trax, MPM and Apple Trax music libraries, along with the entire Chesky Records catalog, for use with iTunes. According to Ron Goldberg, VP of sales and marketing at Manhattan Production Music, "Many of our post house clients tend to use iTunes when listening to CDs in their office and/or studio. This arrangement enables all of the metadata, such as song titles, composer and descriptions, to pop up as soon as a CD is being previewed for instant export capabilities."
Manhattan Production Music will now distribute iPods encoded with every song from its libraries and the Chesky Records label to key clients so that they may perform music searches and auditioning from anywhere, without the need of a computer.
