OpenPlay

The music industry has spent years operating across disconnected platforms, fragmented services, and isolated data systems.

OpenPlay Connect was built to change that.

Connect is the new transaction hub for the music industry - bringing all of the industry’s best technology providers, rights services, metadata partners, analytics, and AI tools into one platform, one ecosystem accessible by labels, publishers, distributors, and others.

Featuring:
• 57 apps and services
• The industry’s top tech, data and service providers
• AI-powered orchestration
• Seamless metadata & rights transfer

One marketplace for stems, lyrics, work registrations, fingerprinting, royalties, audio editing, video creation, data & analytics, and more.

And this is only the beginning.

Next week at Music Biz 2026 in Atlanta, we’ll be giving live walkthroughs and deeper looks into what Connect is powering across the industry.

One of the most overlooked risks in music operations isn’t distribution.

It’s ownership protection.

Across the industry, thousands of works remain unregistered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Without registration, rights holders lose access to key legal protections, including the ability to pursue statutory damages in cases of infringement.

In other words, unregistered copyrights often mean unenforceable revenue.
Cosynd was built to close that gap.

Through scalable copyright registration, catalog audit, and ownership documentation tools, Cosynd helps transform fragmented rights into enforceable assets — ensuring that protection and documentation become part of the operational workflow rather than an afterthought.

Now integrated into OpenPlay Connect, Cosynd allows rights holders to incorporate copyright protection directly into the broader ecosystem managing their catalog, metadata, and rights, a critical capability as AI-driven content creation continues to accelerate.

As Liz Cimarelli, Chief Operating Officer at Cosynd, explains:
“OpenPlay Connect is addressing a real operational gap in the industry by creating a centralized, transactional hub where rights holders can access the specialized services they need without adding complexity. Within that ecosystem, Cosynd’s scalable registration and catalog auditing tools help transform fragmented rights into enforceable assets.”

By integrating into Connect, Cosynd helps make proactive protection and long-term catalog readiness a seamless part of the modern music business workflow.
