New York - The Orchard, a digital distributor of independent music, announced that it has launched a tool on its website that allows music supervisors to quickly browse and purchase rights to music from the company's catalog for commercial use. The Trackdown service will allow for search of independent artists' songs in The Orchard's catalog using technology from MusicIP, which has a database of over 29 million songs analyzed for acoustic and social relationships.
