Show Notes

The provided source explains that an ISRC code, or International Standard Recording Code, serves as a unique and permanent digital fingerprint for sound and music video recordings. These 12-character codes are essential for tracking music in the commercial stream, associating a recording with its artist, title, label, and other relevant information. Independent artists, record labels, and distributors are responsible for assigning these codes to each unique recording they release. An ISRC is comprised of a country code, a registrant code, the last two digits of the reference year, and a five-digit unique identifier for the specific recording.
