La Jolla, Calif. -- Venture capital firm Enterprise Partners announced on Thursday that it has acquired New York-based Muze, a provider of informational databases on music, movies, books and video games to online and traditional retailers. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Founded in 1990, Muze was subsequently owned by John W. Kluge and the Metromedia Company. Customers of the company's data on CDs, DVDs, video games and other media include eBay, Yahoo, Borders, RealNetworks, Best Buy and Overstock.com. "Over the past 15 years, Muze has painstakingly developed a world-class library of meta-data that covers the entire range of entertainment content," said Enterprise Partners managing director. "As the acquisition of digital media content has exploded and digital collections have expanded, people are facing the headache of organizing and finding what they want. Muze data is the key that unlocks the promise of digital media."
