Musiio by SoundCloud, the industry-leader in descriptive music metadata, has announced the release of a new service – the Timecodes & Cue Points API – to speed up discovery for music catalogues.
This innovative, AI-powered service will offer users AI-generated timecodes for their songs, providing invaluable data for music library owners, streaming platforms and more.
What’s New?
The Timecodes & Cue Points API offers three key features: Silence Detection, Vocal Start/Stop timings and Segment Selection.
Silence Detection identifies silence at the start and end of tracks which can be used for seamless play functionality.
The Vocal Start/Stop tool takes this concept a step further, producing timecodes for the moment a vocal starts and stops. This can speed up catalogue browsing exponentially.
Music catalogues are expected to make it quick for users to find the perfect music. Imagine a music supervisor looking to pinpoint a vocal track for a scene. Scanning hundreds of tracks is time-consuming, so the ability to skip straight to a vocal can save many hours of needless labour.
It also has potential uses in podcasting and DJ software, where knowing when the vocal starts is paramount for fluid transitions and broadcast-level links between songs.
Additionally, the Timecodes & Cue Points API also includes our groundbreaking Segment Selection tool. This advanced AI tool finds the best three segments of a track and this can be used by music catalogues in many different ways:

Sharing timecodes with short-form video platforms such as TikTok; Speeding up the music discovery process by allowing users to play from key moments in a track rather than the volume of content can be overwhelming for library owners to process manually.
Now a new generation can rediscover timeless tracks with ease thanks to Timecodes.
