Songs To Your Eyes

What Songs To Your Eyes does

Songs To Your Eyes is a privately held production music library founded in 2005 and based in Arnold, Maryland, with 9 employees. It operates as a workspace on the SourceAudio cloud platform, offering a catalog of production music tracks licensed for synchronization use in television, advertising, film, post-production, theatrical marketing, and educational or non-profit content. The underlying technology is SourceAudio's cloud-based music management and licensing platform, on which the company layers catalog metadata, AI-powered discovery (Sonic Search via Artemis and Cyanite.ai), a self-serve e-commerce storefront (Braintree and PayPal), subscription plans with download credits, YouTube Content ID monetization with channel whitelisting, and SA Detect watermarking-based TV broadcast detection that distinguishes programs from advertising and generates cue sheets. Works registration is supported with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC integration.
