Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne.

He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977.

After buying it, he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
