All Media Network (AMN), formerly known as All Media Guide (AMG) and AllRovi, was an American company that owned and maintained AllMusic, AllMovie, AllGame (until its closure in 2014), SideReel and Celebified.

The company was founded in 1990 by popular-culture archivist Michael Erlewine. All Media Network offices were located in San Francisco, Ann Arbor, and other locations in the United States.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rhythmone.com/about#locations|title=About Us - RhythmOne|website=www.rhythmone.com|access-date=2019-01-15|archive-date=August 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230830205325/https://www.rhythmone.com/#locations|url-status=live}}

All Media Network was founded in Big Rapids, Michigan in 1990 by Michael Erlewine. With the All Music Guide the aim was to "[compile] discographic information on every artist who's made a record since Enrico Caruso gave the industry its first big boost", which launched in 1991.

All Music Guide (now AllMusic) was launched in 1991. In 1994, the All Movie Guide (now AllMovie) was launched and in 1998 the All Game Guide (later AllGame—defunct in 2014).{{cite web |url=http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=10087 |title=Make it or Break it |last=Bowe |first=Brian J. |date=January 24, 2007 |work=Metro Times |access-date=February 27, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080221222844/http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=10087|archivedate=February 21, 2008}}

They expanded with the All Movie Guide (now AllMovie) in 1994, and then the All Game Guide (now AllGame) in 1998. They moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1999 to take advantage of the "rich talent pool". AMG was a business unit within Alliance Entertainment from 1996 until early 2005.{{cite web |title=about |url=http://allmusic.com:80/com/amg/about.html |website=The All Music Guide |access-date=3 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010202194400/http://allmusic.com:80/com/amg/about.html |archive-date=2 February 2001}}{{cite web |title=Alliance Entertainment |url=http://www.aent.com/ |website=aent.com |access-date=3 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060524173718/http://www.aent.com/ |archive-date=2006-05-24}} In 2006, AEC One Stop Group, Inc., was its parent company.{{cite news |title=Sonia Braga: Biography |url=https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800058764/bio |work=Movies |publisher=Yahoo! |agency=Baseline StudioSystems and AllMovie |access-date=3 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060514085427/https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800058764/bio |archive-date=14 May 2006}}

Alliance was acquired in 1999 by Yucaipa Companies, a multibillion-dollar fund based in California.

Macrovision (now TiVo) announced on November 6, 2007 that it had agreed to purchase All Media Guide for a reported $102 million; $72 million in cash was paid up front, and $30 million in contingent payments were made one year later.{{cite press release |url=http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20071106006601&newsLang=en |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130102070452/http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20071106006601&newsLang=en |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 2, 2013 |title=Macrovision Agrees to Acquire All Media Guide Holdings, Inc. |publisher=BusinessWire |date=November 6, 2007 |access-date=November 6, 2007 }}{{cite web |url= http://mandasoft.com/1/11787/macrovision_corporation_acquired_all_media_guide_holdings_inc |title= Macrovision Corporation, acquired All Media Guide Holdings, Inc. |publisher= Mandasoft |date= December 17, 2007 |access-date= June 18, 2012 |archive-date= March 13, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130313152945/http://mandasoft.com/1/11787/Macrovision_Corporation_acquired_All_Media_Guide_Holdings_Inc |url-status= live }} For a time, all of the guides were controlled by Rovi's nameservers and combined access to the All Music and All Movie Guides was provided via AllRovi.com from 2011 until 2013. In 2013, Rovi sold consumer access of the content to the newly established All Media Network, LLC, but retained control of licensing the content to other businesses. The overall website is allmedianetwork.com (previously allmediaguide.com and allrovi.com).

Rovi sold the consumer access to them to newly established All Media Network, LLC in 2013, while retaining ownership and maintenance of the content itself.{{cite web|url=http://www.rovicorp.com/company/press-releases/2013/7/31/rovicorp-reports-second-quarter-2013-financial-performance.html|title=Rovi Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Performance|date=July 31, 2013|publisher=Rovi Corporation|access-date=February 27, 2014|archive-date=March 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160318151053/http://www.rovicorp.com/company/press-releases/2013/7/31/rovicorp-reports-second-quarter-2013-financial-performance.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/whats_the_story_on_rovi |title=What's the Story on Rovi |last1=Zac |first1=Johnson |date=September 2013 |access-date=February 27, 2014 |archive-date=May 2, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502004827/https://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/whats_the_story_on_rovi |url-status=dead }}

Celebified offers celebrity news and interviews and started in 2012. As of December 2023, all prior existing URLs now return a 404 error. The homepage of Celebified.com now only exists as a feed of posts from other network websites.

The AllMusic database is also used by several generations of Windows Media Player and Musicmatch Jukebox to identify and organize music collections. Windows Media Player 11 and the integrated MTV Urge music store have expanded the use of AllMusic data to include related artists, biographies, reviews, playlists and other data.

All Media Network licenses large databases of metadata about movies, video games, audio books, and music releases from Rovi Corporation and publishes them online for consumer use. This includes credits, and staff-written biographies, reviews, ratings, and recommendations as well as categories such as theme or mood. Rovi also makes this content available for point of sale systems in stores globally, for CD and DVD recognition in software media players such as Windows Media Player and Musicmatch Jukebox, and for providing content for a variety of websites including iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify.{{cite web|url=http://www.musicminder.com/scripts/entertainers/displayentertainer.asp?ID=008018|title=ALLMUSIC|publisher=musicminder.com|access-date=February 27, 2014|archive-date=March 4, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304102237/http://www.musicminder.com/scripts/entertainers/displayentertainer.asp?ID=008018|url-status=live}}{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1179058/allmusiccom-folding-into-allrovicom-for-one-stop-entertainment-shop |title=AllMusic.com Folding Into AllRovi.com for One-Stop Entertainment Shop |last1=Bruno |first1=Antony |date=February 28, 2011 |magazine=Billboard |access-date=February 27, 2014}}

However, New York Times blogger Mark Scott theorized that Edelman's undisclosed client(s), who funded his research on Blinkx, may have been hedge funds who profited from shorting the drop in Blinkx's stock price.{{cite web|last1=Mark|first1=Scott|title=Critic of Online Ad Firm Blinkx Is Part of the Controversy|url=http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/31/critic-of-online-ad-firm-blinkx-is-part-of-the-controversy/|website=Bits|publisher=New York Times|access-date=27 March 2015|date=31 January 2014|archive-date=April 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150411101717/http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/31/critic-of-online-ad-firm-blinkx-is-part-of-the-controversy/|url-status=live}}
