rightsHUB educational programme Catalogue Academy launched
Music rights data and asset management platform rightsHUB has added DataDoktor to its suite of music management tools. By precisely matching data and exposing errors, DataDoktor will enable music rights holders to check, clean, enrich and enhance their existing catalogue data simply and efficiently.
Building on rightsHUB’s existing data and asset management tools, DataDoktor helps rights holders identify, report and resolve errors in their data and assets. In today’s digital-first music industry missing or incomplete data or assets that do not comply with current standards can significantly harm discoverability, attribution, and monetisation for rights holders.
By flagging and resolving missing or incomplete data, as well as enriching existing data to include new fields, DataDoktor helps protect the value of rights holders’ catalogues, saves significant time, and eliminates repetitive data entry. Better data can also open up new deals and opportunities, including being able to switch more easily between partners, allowing rights holders the ability to find the best deals available.
Over recent months rightsHUB has brought a number of significant new customers onto the platform including Sentric Neighbouring Rights, One Little Independent Records and Marathon Music Group, Axtone & FatCat Records who have begun using rightsHUB’s suite of tools to streamline their management of music rights data and assets.



The company has also launched Catalogue Academy – a free 12 week programme of short, insightful webinars sharing knowledge and insight from rightsHUB’s own experienced team, who have decades of experience at the forefront of the topic. Aimed at helping practitioners across the industry stay on top of current trends, the programme also includes contributions from leading experts in music data and rights management.
As part of the programme rightsHUB has partnered with the UK’s Association of Independent Music, offering the organisation’s members free tailored music rights, data and asset management advice. Through the partnership, rightsHUB will help ensure AIM members’ rights businesses are as strong as possible in the current climate.
Week One of Catalogue Academy saw Chris Cooke, MD & Co-founder of CMU and author of the acclaimed book ‘Dissecting The Digital Dollar’, spearhead the conversation into why data is not something that should be dismissed as “just a technology topic” but rather is something that has significant commercial implications.
With an emphasis on providing practical advice, the programme will help share tips, best practices and up-to-the-minute trends to help you stay on top of the complex world of managing music rights data and assets in the best way. Webinars will be available both live and on-demand, covering a range of music data topics, such as linking recordings & compositions the sustainability of live streaming.
