Webinar: Learn about the Electronic Release Notification Standard (ERN)

Webinar: Learn about the Media Enrichment and Description Standard (MEAD)

The ERN standard communicates “core” information about a music release. The new MEAD standard allows for additional categories of information to be associated with a release to help marketing and consumer discovery, such as focus tracks, lyrics, artist nicknames, historic chart positions, and much more. Anyone that supplies such additional information, or wants to optimise music for discovery will get an explanation of the options MEAD can deliver.

Webinar: Learn more about the Digital Sales Report (DSR) and Claim Detail Message (CDM) Standards

The DSR standard communicates information about sales, usage or revenue generated on a digital music retailer service, to the relevant rights owners. The standard is in a flat-file format and once processed enables rights owners to make claims in respect of the works they represent and quantify royalties due. This can be done using one of the formats from the CDM standard. The standard also includes formats to enable DSPs to raise any discrepancies they consider may have arisen in the claim or royalty calculations.

The RIN standard is a file format that is a uniform mechanism for capturing, storing and communicating “recording information”.

Webinar: Learn about the Recording Data and Rights Standards (RDR)

The RDR standards enable music licensing companies (such as SoundExchange in the US, PPL in the UK, SCPP in France and GVL in Germany) to communicate with music licensing companies in other countries, and for communication between record companies, performers or their representatives. The standards help support the communication of repertoire and revenue information amongst that community.
