Expanding across Latin America introduces a new layer of operational complexity for rights holders.

Multiple territories.
Distinct regulatory environments.
Regional marketing dynamics.
And often fragmented distribution relationships.

What should be global catalog expansion frequently turns into operational friction.

For more than three decades, FaroLatino has helped rights holders navigate that complexity. Through digital distribution, copyright protection, related rights administration, and regional marketing expertise, they enable labels and publishers to operate more effectively across Latin America.

In addition to its regional distribution expertise, FaroLatino has established itself as a strategic partner in rights monetization and protection on YouTube. With specialized tools for Content ID management, dispute resolution, and revenue optimization, FaroLatino helps rights holders —including labels and publishers in the United States— regain control over their catalogs on the world’s largest video platform. For the USA market, where YouTube rights management has become increasingly complex, having a partner with decades of operational experience represents a real competitive advantage

Now integrated into OpenPlay Connect, FaroLatino becomes part of a broader marketplace where rights holders can discover and integrate specialized services without adding platform sprawl.

As Javier Fainzaig, CEO of FaroLatino, explains:
“At FaroLatino, we celebrate OpenPlay's transformation into a disruptive B2B marketplace. As CEO and founder, I am proud to contribute our 30 years of experience managing digital rights to this project. Faced with the challenge that AI poses to intellectual property, we are applying our expertise to strengthen this open and essential solution for the entire industry.”
By connecting regional expertise with centralized catalog and rights infrastructure, services like FaroLatino make global catalog strategy operationally viable.

The music industry has no shortage of ideas.

What it’s lacked is access.
Access to the tools.
Access to infrastructure.

Access to the technical resources needed to actually build.

That’s changing.

Tomorrow, at OpenPlay CoLab during Music Biz 2026, we’re bringing together artists, labels, publishers, entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and technology partners to prototype the future of the music business in real time.

We’re excited to be joined by DataArt, a global software engineering and AI partner trusted by music companies across the industry.
From modernizing legacy systems to building scalable AI and data infrastructure, DataArt has spent nearly two decades helping power the operational backbone of the music ecosystem.

Together, we’ll explore how AI-native workflows and vibe coding can unlock faster innovation across catalog operations, rights, analytics, marketing, and beyond.

The day begins with a one-hour hands-on vibe coding workshop led by Edward Ginis before teams break into collaborative build sessions with OpenPlay APIs and partner technologies.

This isn’t another panel discussion.

It’s a working session for the future of the industry.

Most music workflows don’t break because of missing data.

They break because systems can’t accurately identify what they’re working with.
At scale, audio recognition becomes foundational. It’s how rights get matched, royalties get paid, and creators get credited.

ACRCloud was built to solve that.

Through industry-leading automatic content recognition technology, ACRCloud enables teams to identify, monitor music across files, UGC platforms, and live broadcasts. With a database of over 150 million tracks and a full suite of APIs and SDKs, it supports everything from metadata enrichment to copyright compliance, broadcast monitoring and AI-generated music detection.

Now available through OpenPlay Connect, ACRCloud integrates directly into the workflows where catalog, rights, and distribution are managed, helping teams move faster with greater accuracy.

As Tony Li, Co-Founder of ACRCloud, explains:
“Accurate audio recognition is the foundation of a healthy music ecosystem, it's how rights get matched, royalties get paid, and creators get credited. Joining OpenPlay Connect gives us the opportunity to bring ACRCloud's identification technology directly into the workflows where it matters most, helping our mutual clients move faster and with greater confidence across their catalogs.”
