The Problem

Poor Metadata Costs the Music Industry Billions

The music industry loses an estimated $2.5 billion annually in unclaimed revenue. Much of this is due to metadata errors. Duplicate ISRCs, mistyped credits and incomplete rights data mean money that should reach Labels/Publishers/Artists/Performers gets lost in the system.

For labels and publishers, poor music metadata management means rejected deliveries, delayed releases, sync opportunities lost and hours wasted on manual spreadsheet work.

Missing ISRCs

Tracks cannot be matched to streaming data, resulting in lost revenue

Misspelled Credits

Writers and performers miss payments when names don't match CMO records

Incomplete Rights Data

Sync licensing opportunities lost due to unclear ownership information

Inconsistent Formatting

Delivery rejections from distributors and partners cause release delays

What is Music Metadata Management?

Music Metadata Management is the systematic process of collecting, standardising, validating and delivering descriptive data about your musical recordings and compositions.

This includes unique identifiers (ISRCs for recordings, ISWCs for compositions), contributor credits (writers, performers, producers, engineers), release information (dates, labels, formats, genres) and rights documentation.

Modern metadata management software like rightsHUB automates the entire workflow from ingesting raw data to delivering validated, formatted metadata to CMOs, distributors and recognition services worldwide.

The goal is to ensure your music is correctly identified everywhere it is used so you capture every penny of revenue you are owed.
