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."

The future of the music business won’t be built by one company alone.

It will take infrastructure partners, AI innovators, rights experts, operators, labels, publishers, developers, and creators all working together to solve the industry’s biggest operational challenges.

That’s exactly why we’re excited to have DataArt joining OpenPlay CoLab at Music Biz 2026.
With more than 18 years in the music business and experience supporting major distributors, labels, publishers, PROs, DSPs, and global media companies, DataArt brings deep expertise in AI architecture, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and large-scale software modernization.

As we explore what’s next for AI-native music operations, vibe coding, connected infrastructure, and interoperable workflows, partnerships like this matter.

At CoLab, participants will:
⚡ Experiment with cutting-edge AI tools
⚡ Access OpenPlay APIs
⚡ Collaborate with industry-leading technology partners
⚡ Prototype real solutions for the music industry

We’ll also kick off the day with a dedicated one-hour vibe coding session led by OpenPlay Co-Founder Edward Ginis to help participants jump into building, regardless of technical background.

This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on some of the biggest products we’ve ever built at OpenPlay.

Yesterday was Pulse.
Today, it’s Verse.

OpenPlay Verse is our AI-native publishing operating system built to connect works, writers, agreements, registrations, royalties, and creative collaboration into one connected environment.

Built from years of enterprise publishing workflows, Verse helps publishers, administrators, and rights teams manage modern publishing operations with greater visibility, automation, and operational control.

Featuring:
• Rights & ownership management
• Registration & PRO workflows
• Royalty forecasting & simulations
• Writer portals & split tracking
• AI-assisted publishing operations

From ownership chains and contributor approvals to royalty modeling and registration conflicts, Verse was designed to support publishing teams operationally — not just administratively.

And because creation and publishing are deeply connected, Verse also brings collaboration, split tracking, lyric workflows, and contribution history into the same ecosystem.

Teams are already using Verse today. Learn more: http://www.openplayverse.com

Next week at Music Biz 2026 in Atlanta, we’ll be giving first looks and private walkthroughs.
