About

nicheMusic.com, Inc. was a San Francisco internet music company that described itself in 2000 as "creating a new kind of music company combining the best of offline and online resources", running an online property called The World Entertainment Network (WEN) and owning "a groundbreaking entertainment group, 75 Ark Entertainment".[1] Its contact address was 75 Arkansas Street, Suite 1, San Francisco, California.[2] David S Schulhof was chairman and chief executive and Kurt Kujovich chief financial officer.[3] Wikipedia and CMJ New Music Report both name NicheMusic as the parent company of the hip hop label 75 Ark, which its own page said was then distributed domestically by the Alternative Distribution Alliance.[4][5][6]

GS1 prefix 0676217 is recorded here as inferred, not sourced. No public register names the licensee and SEC EDGAR has no filer under this name,[7] but all 21 releases MusicBrainz holds under the prefix carry 75 Ark catalogue numbers (75002 to 75053),[8] two of those barcodes are filed in the UPC Database under the company name NICHEMUSIC.COM INC.,[9][10] and this company owned the label. A sourced append will move the prefix to gs1_prefixes when a registry record, a filing or a company statement names its holder.
