Unlocking Music's Fortune: The Power of Metadata

In the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, independent creators face numerous challenges when it comes to effectively managing their catalogs and ensuring they receive the royalties they rightfully deserve. One critical aspect that often goes overlooked is metadata. Metadata serves as the DNA of music, providing crucial information that allows for accurate catalog management, royalty distribution, and proper song registration. At Intrepid, we understand the significance of metadata and offer specialized services to help songwriters and producers navigate the complexities of publishing administration.

The Pitfalls of Self-Service Platforms:

Many independent creators turn to self-service platforms to register their songs and manage their catalogs. While these platforms offer convenience, they often lack the necessary education and guidance on proper publishing practices and metadata. As a result, songs can be registered incorrectly, leading to missed royalties or even overclaims on ownership shares. These errors can hinder the growth of your music career and prevent you from receiving timely and accurate payments.

Why Metadata Matters:

Metadata is the vital information attached to a song, including details about songwriters, publishers, performers, release dates, and ISRC codes. It ensures that your music is properly identified, matched, and monetized in the digital ecosystem. Clean and correct metadata serves as the foundation for streamlined royalty processing, accurate copyright protection, and efficient music licensing. In today's digital age, where music consumption happens across various platforms, having impeccable metadata is crucial for maximizing your earning potential.
