As a global leader in rights management, we rely on our intelligent audio-recognition technology, known as BMI Recognition Services. Using the same technology that powers the Shazam app, downloaded by over 150 million people around the world, BMI Recognition Services enables the identification of music performances across multiple channels, providing us with detailed, granular airplay information. BMI collects license fees from businesses that use music and utilizes the information provided by BMI Recognition Services to assist in the distribution of  royalties to our songwriters, composers and music publishers whose works have been performed.
 
Dependable real-time audio recognition provides the means for BMI to know where, when and how often BMI writers’ and publishers’ content is used. BMI’s Recognition Services allows us to provide songwriters, composers, licensees, international rights organizations and music industry partners with the best possible level of service and support.
