What is an ISRC code?
An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is like a digital fingerprint for a song. It is a unique 12-character alphanumeric code used to internationally identify a specific audio recording or music video.
What is an ISRC used for?
This code is essential in the music industry because it allows platforms and organizations to:
-
Track plays and streams: Streaming services (like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) use it to know exactly which song is being played.
-
Manage your royalties: It ensures that the money generated from streams and downloads goes to the correct artist or label automatically.
-
Avoid confusion: It differentiates between different versions of the same song (for example, a studio version, a remix, or a live version).
⚠️ Important Note: The ISRC code identifies the recording (the audio master), not the underlying composition or lyrics (which is tracked by a different code called an ISWC).
