What is "quantone"

Quantone Ltd (Quantone), formerly known as Decibel, is a London-based music intelligence software company that provides rich, semantic music metadata to developers and media companies. Quantone uses technology derived from intelligence gathering services to allow for deeply connected data, storing information on not only artists and their recorded works, but also the relationships between them. In addition to album title, track titles, and the length of each track, Quantone compiles the producers, engineers, session musicians, copyright information, and more. In 2015 Quantone added music recommendations to their product range, announcing a collaboration with IBM's cognitive computing platform, Watson. Quantone also addresses special issues, such as multiple names and languages, as well as sympathetic treatment of classical music, world music and jazz.
