ISRC
The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) serves as a ‘digital fingerprint’ of a producer’s repertoire. It is a unique ID number for each separate recording. The ISRC has been developed to put you in charge of the use of your repertoire – an absolute necessity in the current digital age.
The ISRC consists of an ISO country code such as NL for the Netherlands, a registration code of three alphanumeric characters identifying the producer, a year and five digits assigned by the producer. For example: NLABC2012345. When registering repertoire, enter the ISRC without hyphens.
