What are ISRC codes, and how do I get them on my release?

ISRC codes are digital signatures that are embedded onto CD's that allow for the tracking and management of songs in the digital domain. They are usually required by online music distributors such as iTunes. If you want them on your CD, you need to provide them to us before your master is finished -- only the artist or label can obtain these codes, you must acquire them and send them to us. Please use this spreadsheet to provide us with your ISRC codes.

In Canada, contact the AVLA > Audio-Video Licensing Agency

In the USA, contact the RIAA > Recording Industry Association of America
