I built this because I got tired of watching musicians get robbed by not claiming what's theirs!
I'm Darrell Looney, the creator of the Song Metadata Registration Suite.
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 the databases for you. Even if they offer that service, are you SURE they are actually doing it? and doing it CORRECTLY?
One thing we musicians all agree on is that only "Super Fans" will buy your music when they can stream it for free. Those are the people who pick up your music and shout about it from every rooftop.
But casual fans won't buy or stream what they cannot find. And when they DO find it and stream it, you should get paid every penny you're due.
What you'll figure out in the next 12 minutes
Three things every independent artist needs to know before releasing their next track.
The 5 key databases you need to know about
Why your distributor only covers a fraction of the royalty picture, and where the gaps quietly cost you income every month.
Why "I'm with TuneCore (etc.) so I'm good" is the most expensive sentence in music
The single assumption that has self-released artists flying blind on what's registered where, and how to start fixing it in an afternoon.
The catalog system that surfaces gaps in real time
A live look at SMRS, how it organizes your whole catalog and shows you, song by song, exactly where you have your information to be registered and where you're missing it.
