Muso.AI claims to have recorded over 1.4 million post-distribution credit changes from rightsholders, artists and collaborators to date.

As part of the agreement, Muso.AI Rimas Publishing will also offer “extensive rollup views” across all of its platforms, with the application being localized and available in Spanish.

“At Rimas Publishing, we strive to stay at the forefront of technological advances in the industry and continually provide our clients with the highest level of service. This strategic alliance represents a crucial step in our growth trajectory and secures our position as one of the leading publishers in the industry,” said Emilio Morales, Managing Director of Rimas Publishing.

“We are excited about the addition of Rimas Publishing to the Muso.AI family as their dedication and insights will drive the continuous improvement of our business platform to address their specific needs.”
