ISRC Codes

What is an ISRC Code?

ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code. It was developed by the international recording industry through the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The purpose of the ISRC code is to uniquely identify sound and music video recordings. ISRC Codes allow you track sales and radio play both online and for broadcast radio.
The ISRC code is a unique 12 character alphanumeric code that is assigned to a specific recording or mix. The code can be burned into the recording during the mastering process for a CD or by the internet distribution company you use to sell your music. Burning in the code will allow for tracking of sales and usage both in CD format as well as on the internet.

Do I need ISRC Codes?

If you plan to distribute, sell, or use your recordings for radio play and promotional purposes, then the ISRC system will help you to track the sales and radio play of your recordings. The codes are only necessary for the final release version of your song. If the recording is primarily for personal use like a demo, rehearsal recording or a rough mix then getting a code will not be necessary. ISRCs are designed for tracking publicly released recordings.

How do I get ISRC Codes?

The code must be assigned by qualified ISRC Manager, music service provider or by applying directly to the RIAA. If you are producing and releasing a large number of songs annually, it may be beneficial to apply directly to the RIAA for the right to create ISRC codes. Note, you will be responsible for the record keeping and reporting of the assigned codes in addition to annual fees.
If you are an artist, producer, or remixer releasing a CD or singles and don’t want to deal with the record keeping, it will be more beneficial to get them directly from an ISRC manager.
