Jaxsta Ltd (ASX:JXT) has signed a commercial data access agreement with international record label Warner Music Inc.
Under the initial two-year agreement, Jaxsta will be authorised to use Warner’s data worldwide for its platform, known as Jaxsta Platform.

The Jaxsta Platform collates and authenticates data from major and independent record labels, publishers and royalty agencies and publishes it online making it the go-to source of official music information.
