Finding the right track in a massive music catalog can be a challenge, even with the best metadata. That’s why DISCO and AIMS have announced a new partnership that brings AIMS’ AI-powered music search technology directly into the DISCO platform, giving music professionals faster, more intuitive ways to explore and discover music without leaving their everyday workspace.
A Smarter Way to Search Music Catalogs
DISCO is widely used across the music industry for managing and sharing catalogs, supporting workflows for labels, publishers, production libraries, agencies, and artists. Through this new integration, AIMS’ “best-in-class” search capabilities will be available as an add-on for DISCO rights holders, allowing users to search beyond basic tags and genres. Instead, they can describe creative intent, emotional tone, lyrical themes, or even full project briefs in their own words, making discovery more aligned with how people actually think about music.
A key benefit of the partnership is that it doesn’t require teams to overhaul their current processes. Karl Richter, CEO of DISCO, emphasized how seamlessly the technology fits into existing workflows: “Rights teams don’t have to change the way they work; they can now access AIMS’ AI capabilities where they’re already working, and unlock more value from their catalogs.” By embedding AI search directly into DISCO, the integration helps teams move faster while uncovering deeper connections within their music libraries.
Keeping Creative Decisions in Human Hands
From AIMS’ perspective, the collaboration reflects a shared philosophy about supporting, not replacing, music professionals. Martin Nedved, CEO and co-founder of AIMS, noted that AIMS’ assistive search is designed to help users find more great human-made music, while ensuring that artistic judgment remains firmly with the people selecting the tracks. This approach positions AI as a creative support tool rather than a decision-maker.
The AIMS integration will be available as an add-on inside DISCO, and interested customers can contact DISCO directly to learn more or request access. To showcase how the technology works in practice, DISCO and AIMS will also host a live webinar on January 29, offering a walkthrough of the new search features and real-world use cases.
What This Partnership Means for Music Professionals
Together, DISCO and AIMS are aiming to make music discovery faster, deeper, and more creative, while fitting naturally into established industry workflows. For rights holders looking to unlock more value from their catalogs and for creative teams searching by feel, story, and intent, this partnership signals a meaningful step forward in how music is found and shared.
