Title: What was the earliest website for Universal to produce music?
Post by: ChunYinZi on January 12, 2023, 05:45:17 AM: Hello everyone, as the title suggests

I'd like to use the Web Time Machine to find the music of the libraries that Universal Productions used to represent.

But the Universal Music website today doesn't seem to be the same as before

So does anyone know the old Universal Music website?

I'm very interested in the library music that Universal Music used to represent, but it's not there anymore, so I'd like to check it out.

Thank you!

Earliest I know of is bmgmusicsearch.com from approx 2002 (Koka, Match Music, Atmosphere and Killer Tracks)
This changed to bmgzomba.com in April 2006 merging with Zomba, taking away some labels from Playmusiconline.com such as FirstCom, Hollywood, Hollywood Film, Chappell to name a few
BMG Zomba was then bought out by Universal and the site change in August 2007 to unippm.com
Sometime a few years back they changed the domain to its current one universalproductionmusic.com

If you want to see what other libraries Universal represented then I would recommend checking the archive out of unippm.eu/librarys/index.asp?action=browse ;)

Thank you so much. This is very helpful to me.

I will look into them in the near future

I'm particularly interested in the libraries that Universal Music used to represent, but now they're not, because there's a good chance that some of the music I'm looking for will come from them.

There is a list without the years when the licensing ended, (https://productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_libraries_distributed_by_Universal_Production_Music) so you might click on those on your own and check on their corresponding Fandom pages.
