DigSound is a music services company.

We offer a solution to an age-old problem that virtually everyone in the industry acknowledges: technology and the marketplace have advanced while licensing and the management of music copyrights have not. DigSound provides watermarking technologies to composers who wish to track their royalties and broadcasters who need a precise accounting method to manage their music licensing fees.

We are allied with music industry leaders, including:

  • SESAC, a major US performing rights organization (PRO)
  • Activated Content, a technology provider based in Seattle, WA
  • Nielsen Media inc.
  • Plus a number of other leaders in the areas of music rights administration and production music technology

DigSound's verification technologies provide transparency and protection for composers, songwriters and rights holders. Learn more about our EPL (Exact Play License) and how you can distribute and license watermarked music through the DigSound Community.

About RubyDS

DigSound has partnered with Activated Content and SESAC to launch a watermarking delivery system called RubyDS. This product provides rights protection, content management, and a safer method of sending audio files digitally.

RubyDS gives composers, publishers and record labels the ability to watermark and forward a track to an end user while retaining a record of when it was sent and downloaded. Each track is given a unique ID that includes valuable licensing and track metadata and is tied to the recipient, who may be a client, potential licensor, music supervisor or retail consumer.
