The African Music Library is a comprehensive repository of African music knowledge, curated by a team of researchers, creatives, and academics from across the continent. The library collects factual data, including performance metadata and audio files, contributed by record labels, publishers, distributors, aggregators, and other key players in the African music industry. This data is verified and standardized to comply with the DDEX standards.

Additionally, the library uses machine learning models to analyze the curated audio data, generating valuable knowledge. This knowledge is made available to industry stakeholders and the public, fostering faster data exchange for activities such as royalty claims and distributions, as well as African music engineering. By collaborating with collective management organizations and payment distributors, the African Music Library ensures efficient royalty management.

The library also enriches music metadata, making works more discoverable on media platforms, facilitating easy playlisting. With AML, your music metadata is properly organized, payment processes are streamlined, and your works are future-proofed.
