You’ve heard the term “ISRC” thrown around in reference to digital files of your music, but what is it, and why do you need it?Īn ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a 12-digit alphanumeric code that serves as a unique and permanent identifier for any sound recording or music video. Each ISRC identifies a recording, independent of the format on which it appears (CD, compressed audio file, etc.). So where a UPC (Universal Product Code) is tied to the “carrier” of the track – e.g. the CD or LP – an ISRC identifies individual tracks. If you use the same sound recording on multiple releases – a CD, digital download, and a “best-of” collection, for instance – the ISRC stays the same. A new ISRC is required only if something about the recording changes (e.g. Changes in the playing time of more than 10 seconds.Īccording to the ISRC Handbook, a new ISRC should be issued for: track length, title, remix, audio mastering). ![]() Previously released recordings that are partially used in a compilation (aka pot-pourris)Īccording to, ISRCs are used in “digital commerce and can be permanently encoded into a product as its digital fingerprint.” As such, the ISRC system is key to royalty collection for recordings.#WINAMP GRACENOTE TOOLS DOWNLOAD#Īn ISRC is a unique, reliable, international identifier used for the purposes of rights administration, and is required by most digital distribution companies and download sites to sell content online.ĭisc Makers can now supply ISRCs for new audio CD orders! Gracenote and CD-Text When your fans put your CD in their music players, will your album title and track names display? It depends on what kind of player they’re using and whether you’ve registered your content and coded your files correctly. That’s where Gracenote and CD-Text come in. If your fans are putting your CD into an Internet-enabled device (a computer using iTunes, for example), the computer is accessing an online database to match your information to your CD. The information they see does NOT come from your actual CD. There are a couple major databases online, and Gracenote is the largest. Of course, we make it even easier than that: purchase Disc Makers’ Mega Distribution Bundle with your CD order and we’ll do it for you! To ensure that your CD song names will be visible on devices such as iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS), you need to register your album with Gracenote.
