AMG has been successfully winning away Gracenote's core media identification customers since the launch of their "Lasso" service a year or two ago. Several of the customers mentioned in the interview have already moved to Lasso including RealNetworks (Rhapsody and Realplayer) and Sony (PS3 and a new 200 Blu-ray disc server). AMG competes directly with Gracenote in music identification, recommendation, and playlist generation; AMG leads the market for movie (DVD) recognition (which Gracenote cannot currently deliver); and AMG is the gold standard for quality database licensing (which Gracenote does not even attempt). Gracenote is ceratinly an interesting company, but it hardly operates in a competitive vacuum, and is probably not the most comprehensive company in the industry.
