International Standard Recording Code
Ready to be sure your royalties can get tracked properly and have an easier time getting your music on iTunes?
The ISRC is the identification system for sound and music video recordings. Each ISRC is a unique and permanent identifier for a specific recording, to help identify recordings for royalty payment. It’s assigned PER TRACK, not per CD. Here is the scoop – you need your own ISRC code to assign separate unique numbers for each song. No problem.
Don’t wait, DO IT NOW.
You should also have the CD manufacturing plant put the codes on at the time of pressing. Your CD manufacturing company should not charge you an arm and a leg for this but it’s better if you just do it now. Or you will have a hard time getting paid in your digital future.
Remember a recording is a different that a song – the code belongs to the specific recording of each song. Remixes, singles or soundtracks that differ in any way from a specific recording will need a specific code number. It’s easy.
And did we mention, do it now?
