Muze

Not to be confused with Muse.

Founded in 1991, Muze, Inc. is a business-to-business provider of media information, metadata, and digital preview samples that enable search, discovery, and purchase of digital entertainment content. Muze media information databases are used by businesses to support the sale of entertainment products – such as music tracks and albums, videos and DVDs, books, and video games – and to attract and retain subscribers to Internet, mobile, and social networking sites. Muze is based in New York City with operations in North America and the United Kingdom.[1]

In April 2009, Macrovision (now Rovi) announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Muze, Inc. in a $16.5 million cash transaction.[2][3] The transaction closed on April 30.[4]

Among Muze's clients are eBay, ArkivMusic,[5] Netflix and Rotten Tomatoes[6]
