    image

    We are offering the chance to be one of the FIRST, and one of the very FEW people who will get the opportunity to Intern at musiXmatch for our Summer Internship.

    This won’t be like any others Internship, we’re talking about Italy, spend the summer in Italy, being in Bologna, just 27 min from Florence and 1 hour by Venice and 2 and half from Rome.

    More than all ….just 40min from the beach. Yep.

    We know you’re talented, we know you’re smart and we know you’ve got a wealth of knowledge to offer us, as we do to you, so why don’t we learn from each other?  We can’t promise there won’t be a little photocopying or a bit of toilet cleaning (we all do that, starting from our CEO), everyone has to pull their weight right? There will however, be so much more!
     
    Our business is growing fast, musiXmatch apps are enjoyed everywhere in the world but sometimes, important projects get left as no-one has the capacity to take them on, projects which could make a real difference to how we operate, that’s where you come in!

    We’re looking for enthusiastic, well-educated individuals with a passion for music and an ambition to go far, just like us. You should be studying for your Bachelors Degree and looking for an internship where you can achieve something to set you up for your future career.
     
    You will work on a project for 3 months (June, July, August)  and be mentored by the team to achieve an awesome result. 

    If you act well and put good effort you’ll be our guest for August too and enjoy Italy during Summer…well … that is kinda of experience sometimes in your life you have to make…

    This could be in our Content, Marketing, and more than all Development area and working close to all our engineers.

    It will be hard work, but you will enjoy the challenge of putting your academic experience into a REAL work environment.

    What we will offer:

    - a seat in our wonderful and brand new musiXmatch HQ 
    - a flat n Bologna to share with some others being part of the Internship

    musiXmatch revamps its Spotify app with a Beautiful View. After only a few months musiXmatch became one of the most-used apps on Spotify.


    Spotify Lyrics musiXmatch

    Today is a big day here @musixmatch. We’ve been working to keep the music discovery and lyrics experience better and better for years and we’re pretty excited about our new Spotify launch.

    Details are below.

    London 3rd December 2012 - It is well known that lyrics are one of the most important pieces of content in the music space. Searching for lyrics was in fact probably our first kind of music discovery, when we used to buy CDs and browse the booklets to read song lyrics and sing along to the music.

    Whenever people search for an artist on Google, they primarily do that in order to search for lyrics (see Google Trend http://bit.ly/SZlSXf ) and it is no coincidence that word ‘lyrics’ is among the most popular words submitted in search engines  (source Google http://bit.ly/Suk8GY ).

    Spotify users love lyrics too.

    Launched in June 2012, the musiXmatch app has now appeared on the Spotify App Store charts worldwide as one of the most-used apps with over 5,2 million views in October.

    The new musiXmatch app, (
    get it here now http://spoti.fi/TlbneM ) which is available on desktop for all Spotify users in all of the 17 countries in which Spotify is currently available, is able to improve upon your music experience within Spotify: listen to your music and have lyrics scrobbling with music, automatically.

    And in the rare cases when the lyrics are not already synced with the music, users can put their lyrics in time with the music by simply clicking each lines as the song plays.

    In the Explore section you can also build specific playlists based on words (e.g. ‘friday night’, ‘london’) or single phrases through the powerful musiXmatch search engine based on the world’s largest lyrics catalogue, with more than 7 million lyrics localized into 32 languages.

    The official artists’ images then complete the experience, making the Spotify experience beautiful and more social as users can now play any playlist or track, open the musiXmatch App (directly from the Spotify App finder or here http://spoti.fi/TlbneM) and sing along with their friends.

                         image      With more than 8 million users worldwide, musiXmatch is the premier destination for lyrics discovery on connected devices, available for iOS, Android, WP7, Mac, Spotify and now Windows8 too. musiXmatch offers the best way for music lovers to find lyrics through a friendly and innovative search engine and the powerful  MusicID(TM)  helps you identify the lyrics directly from the TV, radio, or any audio source.

    MusiXmatch mobile apps create a complete music discovery experience by offering an embedded Music Player, a lyrics/music search engine and the MusicID identifier which, compared to Shazam and SoundHound, offers a much better experience as you can immediately identify any tracks with lyrics from radio and TV , see the lyrics, and sing along.

    “We have worked for last two years to provide the best user experience to make the discovery of music through the lyrics perfect. Today I’m proud to say that we have made it. We didn’t build an App, we built a service which offers a unique discovery experience to passionate music lovers. Every month we’re processing over 250 million tracks. We’re totally devoted to making the full screen lyrics experience on a second screen the new way of listening to and discovering music” said Max Ciociola CEO & Founder of musiXmatch.
