⚡️ A Year of Innovation and Strategic Growth

Q1 began with a strategic AI Tagging system rollout in January. We launched the system first to select participants, and then we expanded across our entire platform. February saw the integration of Radio detections into our SA Detect panel, enhancing our monitoring capabilities. March brought two major innovations: AI Playlists with continuation features and a complete overhaul of our email design system to improve user communications.

Moving into Q2, we built upon our AI foundation with the release of AI Tagging v1.1 in April. May brought free AI-generated Album and Playlist Art. In June, we made all e-commerce features free for clients.

The democratization of our premium features continued through Q3, as we eliminated fees for File Delivery (up to 200GB monthly) and made AI Tagging freely available to all clients. This period brought major upgrades to Alpha Libraries, our comprehensive radio production music service. The platform now serves over 2,500 US stations with enhanced on-demand transcoding capabilities. These improvements streamline content delivery for our radio partners.

Q4 rounded out the year with the introduction of AI-powered stem separation through our Music.AI partnership, alongside expansions to our broadcast monitoring capabilities and metadata management tools. These additions further cemented our position as the industry’s trusted system of record for music licensing and distribution.

🎆 Looking to 2025 and Beyond

As we look ahead, our CEO and Co-founder Andrew Harding shares his vision:

“SourceAudio is relied upon as the system of record and source of truth for over a thousand catalogs, labels, and broadcasters. Whether it’s through home-grown tools & features or 3rd party vendor integrations, every one of our users and clients can expect new efficiency and productivity unlocks from our team on a regular basis. We are committed to innovating and driving new value for everyone who touches the platform, and we are proud to say we followed through on that commitment big time in 2024.
