Pandora now includes access to Gracenote’s massive lyric database
Now there’s another nifty feature built into the world’s best music discovery and Internet radio customization service, which already includes iTunes and Amazon integration for purchasing.
On the same day Napster has announced a respinning of the pay forever music concept, the folks at Pandora have announced the integration of Gracenote lyrics service, which includes a database of 20,000+ music publishing catalogs from the four major labels and scores of independent artists.
“Pandora’s listeners have repeatedly requested lyrics and we are thrilled to deliver them,” said Jessica Steel, senior vice president, business development. “Gracenote’s breadth of lyric coverage and industry reputation makes them an excellent partner for this great feature.”
Listeners of Pandora’s Internet radio service can now view lyrics to songs when listening in via Pandora’s website. However, the company’s press release makes no mention of if or when lyrics integration will come to their popular iPhone and iPod touch music streaming app, Pandora Radio (iTunes, free).
Last.fm hasn’t been in the news much of late. Do you think they, or for that matter Napster, will be able to hang on for much longer?
