January 30, 2009 - ZOOM MUSIC LICENSING PROGRAM FOR VIDEOGRAPHERS GETS SUPPORT FROM UNIVERSAL MUSIC ENTERPRISES
January 28, 2009, San Francisco, CA – INgrooves, the leading digital distribution and marketing company, in association with Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA), announced today that Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) is making thousands of master recordings and compositions available for the ZOOM videographer music licensing program (www.zoomlicense.com).
Songs from UMe’s vast catalog of chart-topping classics represent many of the most requested wedding and event songs in history. Now cleared for usage through ZOOM are classics such as “I Want You Back” by Jackson 5, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by Diana Ross and “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” by Marvin Gaye. The ZO OM Music Licensing program also includes songs from EMI Music Publishing, Warner Chappell, Gamble & Huff, Silva Screen, Naxos and K-Tel International.
“We’re excited to join the ZOOM program,” stated Tom Rowland, Senior Vice President, Film & TV Music, UMe. “Through our agreement via INgrooves, wedding and event videographers will now have easy access to licensing our music, and helping people relive their special moments.”
"With thousands of wedding and event videographers waiting for music to be cleared for licensing, UMe’s participation is an exciting addition for ZOOM,” said WEVA International chairman Roy Chapman. “UMe’s colossal catalog represents a major injection of popular music which professional wedding and event videographers and wedding photo montage producers in both the US20and Canada can now instantly license."
ZOOM, developed by INgrooves, WEVA and EMI Music Publishing, is a cost-effective and easy-to-use music licensing solution for the videography and photo montage industries. The web-based service allows video and photo professionals based in the US and Canada to search, license and manage music that has been cleared for use in their productions. The ability to legally license the right to synchronize music to images for smaller video productions is an issue that has dogged the industry for many years.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome UMe to the ZOOM license program” explains Robb McDaniels, President & CEO of INgrooves. “These recent music clearances combined with new features such as our a la carte pricing show that we are customizing our offering to meet the needs of the user base.”

This will alleviate the need for you to pre-purchase 100 credits to get started with ZOOM. One credit grants you permission to use one song in one project and create up to 25 copies of that project to give to your client.
April 25, 2008 - ZOOM Gets Huge Boost From New INgrooves/ Universal Music Alliance
Universal Music Group Distribution, the award-winning sales and marketing division of Universal Music Group, the world's leading music company, has entered into a strategic alliance with INgrooves, a leading provider of digital distribution, and the administrator of ZOOM, the groundbreaking music license platform for wedding videographers and digital imagers.
The new strategic alliance with Universal Music Group (UMG) means INgrooves will now work directly with UMG to clear volumes of master recordings and compositions from the Universal catalog for use in the ZOOM platform, said INgrooves CEO Robb McDaniels.
With UMG’s recording and publishing market shares being the largest in the music industry the new alliance means efforts already underway by ZOOM to clear thousands of songs for use in professional wedding and event videography have been given a huge boost. By this summer, WEVA members who have already registered for ZOOM will begin seeing major amounts of new cleared music joining the ZOOM catalog.
