AllMusic was founded in 1991 by [[popular culture]] archivist [[Michael Erlewine]] as a guide for consumers. Its first reference book was published the following year. When first released onto the Internet, AMG predated the [[World Wide Web]] and was first available as a [[Gopher (protocol)|Gopher]] site. AMG headquarters is located in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]], United States. == Content == AllMusic's database, which is licensed and used in point-of-sale systems by some music retailers, includes: * '''Basic data''': names, genres, credits, copyright information, product numbers. * '''Descriptive content''': styles, tones, moods, themes, nationalities. * '''Relational content''': similar artists and albums, influences. * '''Editorial content''': biographies, reviews, rankings. AllMusic also claims to have the largest digital archive of music, including about six million digital songs, as well as the largest cover art library, with more than half a million cover image scans. The AllMusic database is also used by several generations of [[Windows Media Player]] and [[Musicmatch Jukebox]] to identify and organize music collections. Windows Media Player 11 and the integrated [[MTV]] Urge music store have expanded the use of AllMusic data to include related artists, biographies, reviews, playlists and other data. Sam Kennedy sucks. AllMusic is also used to provide catalog data, artist biographies, album [[reviews]], related artist information, playlists and other information in the [[iTunes]] Music Store, [[Zune Marketplace]], Zune player, [[eMusic]], [[AOL]], [[Yahoo!]], [[Amazon.com]] and other music stores. AllMusic is also at the heart of the [[Naim]] Extended Music database used by the Naim HDX hard disk player. == Reviewers == Reviewers include [[Greg Adams (writer)|Greg Adams]], Mark Allender, Jason Ankeny, Roxanne Blanford, Marisa Brown, John Bush, [[Al Campbell]], Nate Cavalieri, [[Eugene Chadbourne]], Matt Collar, Sean Cooper, Ken Dryden, Bruce Eder, Jason Elias, [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]], Katherine Fulton, Jo-Anne Greene, Steve Huey, David Jeffries, Thom Jurek, Andy Kellman, Rudyard Kennedy, Don Kline, the late [[Cub Koda]], Andrew Leahey, Steve Leggett, Jason Lymangrover, Scott McClintock, Greg McIntosh, Opal Louis Nations, Wilson Neate, Heather Phares, Greg Prato,<ref name="GregPrato on AMG">{{cite web |url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p352456|pure_url=yes}} |title=Greg Prato |accessdate=March 29, 2007}}</ref> [[Ned Raggett]], Margaret Reges, Eduardo Rivadavia, John Phillip Roberts, William Ruhlmann, Tim Sendra, Michael Sutton, [[Jeff Tamarkin]], Rob Theakston, [[Richie Unterberger]], Sean Westergaard, and [[Scott Yanow]].<ref name="List of AMG editors">{{cite web |url={{Allmusic|class=explore|id=writers-bloc/|pure_url=yes}} |title=AMG Editors |accessdate=March 19, 2008}}</ref> == See also == * [[All Music Guide to the Blues]] * [[All Music Guide to Jazz]] * [[Allmovie]] * [[List of online encyclopedias]] * [[List of online music databases]] == References == {{reflist}} == External links == * {{Official|http://www.allmusic.com}} [[Category:Music publications]] [[Category:Music websites]] [[Category:Online music and lyrics databases]] [[Category:Gopher (protocol)]] [[Category:Online encyclopedias]] [[Category:Internet properties established in 1991]] [[az:AllMusic]] [[be:Allmusic]] [[bg:Allmusic]] [[ca:Allmusic]] [[cs:Allmusic]] [[da:Allmusic]] [[de:Allmusic]] [[es:Allmusic]] [[fa:آل‌میوزیک]] [[fr:Allmusic]] [[ko:올뮤직]] [[hy:Allmusic]] [[hr:Allmusic]] [[id:Allmusic]] [[it:Allmusic]] [[he:Allmusic]] [[ka:Allmusic]] [[sw:Allmusic]] [[lt:Allmusic]] [[hu:Allmusic]] [[nl:Allmusic]] [[ja:オールミュージック]] [[no:Allmusic]] [[nn:Allmusic]] [[pl:Allmusic]] [[pt:Allmusic]] [[ro:Allmusic]] [[ru:Allmusic]] [[sq:Allmusic]] [[simple:Allmusic]] [[sk:Allmusic]] [[fi:Allmusic]] [[sv:Allmusic]] [[th:ออลมิวสิก]] [[tr:Allmusic]] [[uk:All Music Guide]] [[vi:AllMusic]] [[zh:Allmusic]]'
