Ensuring complete and accurate song metadata is attached to all recordings at the point of creation

 

Credits Due explained…

 

Bad data is hurting everyone…

Too often music recordings and songs are not linked with the proper metadata to identify and credit the creators and contributors.

Resulting in inefficient processes and incorrect compensation for creators and rightsholders.

This hurts everyone...
