Catalog & Metadata
Management

Your metadata is the backbone of your royalty income. If it's wrong, incomplete, or missing - you don't get paid. We make sure every song in your catalog is correctly registered, accurately described, and fully monetized across every platform and rights organization in the world.

What We Do

Your Catalog, Perfectly Maintained

Metadata is not just administrative housekeeping - it is the foundation of your entire royalty income. Every stream, download, broadcast, and license depends on your metadata being correct. A wrong ISRC code, a missing songwriter split, or an unregistered work can mean thousands of dollars in royalties that never reach you.

We take full ownership of your catalog data. From initial registration to ongoing maintenance, we ensure every song, album, and recording is correctly documented across all rights organizations, digital platforms, and international territories.

Bad Metadata = Lost Royalties

Incorrectly registered songs cannot be matched to usage data, meaning royalties they generate go uncollected - often permanently.

Fragmented Data Across Platforms

Every DSP, PRO, and licensing body has different data requirements. We maintain consistency across all of them so nothing falls through the cracks.

Clean Data Maximizes Collection

Properly maintained metadata ensures every royalty is correctly attributed and collected - across every platform, in every territory, every time.

What Is Metadata

The Data Behind Every Royalty

Song Identity

ISRC Code

The International Standard Recording Code uniquely identifies every recorded track. Without a valid ISRC, streaming platforms cannot identify your recording and royalties cannot be attributed to you.

Example: USRC17607839
Composition Identity

ISWC Code

The International Standard Musical Work Code identifies the underlying composition - separate from the recording. Essential for collecting performance and mechanical royalties for songwriters and publishers.

Example: T-034.524.680-1
Ownership

Songwriter Splits

The percentage ownership each songwriter, composer, or publisher holds in a composition. Incorrect or missing splits are one of the most common causes of disputed and unpaid royalties.

Example: Writer A 50% / Writer B 50%
Publishing

Publisher Information

Publisher name, PRO affiliation, and IPI number - required for accurate publishing royalty collection and administration across all performance rights organizations.

Example: IPI: 00369931344
Distribution

UPC / EAN Code

The Universal Product Code identifies a release at the product level. Required by all digital distributors and retail platforms for accurate product identification and sales tracking.

Example: 5099749994324
Classification

Genre, BPM & Mood Tags

Accurate classification metadata improves discoverability on streaming platforms, increases sync licensing opportunities, and ensures inclusion in the right playlists and editorial features.

Example: Genre: R&B ยท BPM: 92 ยท Mood: Soulful
How We Work

Our Catalog Management Process

01

Catalog Intake & Audit

We begin with a full audit of your existing catalog - identifying every work, recording, and release. We cross-reference your data against PRO databases, MLC records, and DSP listings to uncover gaps, errors, and missing registrations.
