Can I use my existing ISRC and UPC codes with MRM India?
Yes, you can absolutely use your existing ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) and UPC (Universal Product Code) when registering your music with MRM India. This is beneficial for several reasons:
1. Maintaining Consistency: By using your existing ISRC and UPC codes, we ensure consistency across all your releases. These codes are unique identifiers for your music tracks (ISRC) and album products (UPC), and maintaining the same codes helps avoid duplication or confusion in tracking your music's performance and sales across different platforms.
2. Efficient Data Management: When you provide MRM India with your ISRC and UPC codes, we integrate them into our system and link them with your royalty management, ensuring all revenue streams (digital, physical, or performance) are accurately captured under the correct codes. This helps in tracking your music effectively across global platforms and collecting royalties efficiently.
3. Impact on Royalty Collection: Using the same ISRC and UPC across platforms means that all streams, downloads, and sales of your music are reported correctly to MRM India. This impacts how royalties are calculated and distributed. If your codes were to change, it could lead to errors or delays in royalty collection, especially across international markets.
By ensuring you use the same ISRC and UPC, MRM India can accurately manage your rights, track your revenue, and guarantee you receive the correct payments from all the relevant sources, including digital streaming platforms, physical sales, and collecting societies.
