Music Credits & Metadata
Credits are careers. If the databases don't know what you played on, wrote, or produced, neither does the industry — and neither do the royalty systems. Claim your work everywhere it lives.
The databases
The open encyclopedia of music metadata — community-built, machine-readable, and the backbone of countless apps.
The collector-built discography of physical and digital releases — decades deep, absurdly thorough.
Official credits sourced directly from labels and distributors — not crowd-sourced, so it's the verified record.
Claim a verified profile and it gathers your credits from across platforms — the modern credits resume.
Name an album and talk to it — a conversational guide inside your record collection, grounded in MusicBrainz data, with a free cross-device account. The fun side of metadata.
The plumbing — know these two acronyms
The unique ID stamped on each RECORDING — your distributor usually assigns them free; understand what yours are and keep a list.
The unique ID for each SONG (the composition itself) — assigned through your PRO when you register works.
The habit: every release, keep one file listing title, writers, splits, ISRC, and release date. Five minutes per song — and every database, distributor, and royalty form pulls from it forever.
