AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994.[2][3] AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne... AllMusic was launched as All Music Guide by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician"... The first All Music Guide, published in 1992, was a 1,200-page reference printed book, packaged with a CD-ROM, titled All Music Guide: The Best CDs, Albums & Tapes: The Expert's Guide to the Best Releases from Thousands of Artists in All Types of Music.[5] Its first online version, in 1994, was a text-based Gopher site.[2][6] It moved to the World Wide Web as web browsers became more user-friendly... In 1996, seeking to further develop its web-based businesses, Alliance Entertainment Corp. bought All Music from Erlewine for a reported $3.5 million. He left the company after its sale.[3] Alliance filed for bankruptcy in 1999, and its assets were acquired by Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Equity Fund.[4] In 1999, All Music relocated from Big Rapids to Ann Arbor, where the staff expanded from 12 to 100 people... In late 2007, AllMusic was purchased for $72 million by TiVo Corporation (known as Macrovision at the time of the sale, and as Rovi from 2009 until 2016).[10] In 2012, AllMusic removed all of Bryan Adams' info from the site per a request from the artist.[11] In 2015, AllMusic was purchased by BlinkX (later known as RhythmOne). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllMusic
