I'm Darrell — and I built SMRS because too many of us are leaving money on the table.
I constantly hear fellow musicians say:
"Good luck getting paid by XYZ streaming service. And if you do it's only pennies!" So they just keep on releasing new music without registering their song metadata first — or even at all.
"I'm registered with TuneCore, DistroKid, CDBaby so I'm all good with my song metadata."
My thing is: you likely are not — because the PROs and the distributors don't typically register your song metadata in these 5 key databases for you.
One thing we musicians all agree on is that only "Super Fans" will buy the music of someone when they can stream it for free. These are the people who will not only pick up your music but tell others about it, shouting loudly from every roof top.
But — even casual fans won't buy or stream your music if they cannot find it. When they do find it and stream it, you should get paid every penny you're due to receive.
Too many artists are convinced the song registration issue isn't even a problem!
At its minimum, SMRS works best for musicians who have a catalog that is working, generating royalties, and the owner is tracking and cares about getting paid for it. If that's you, then let SMRS help you maximize your chances to capture missed royalties.
