ISRC Numbers are Essential in Collecting Music Royalties from Social Media Sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram

Many musicians don't know that music videos can be embedded with an ISRC number just like their audio file counterpart. This means that you must purchase two different ISRC codes if you want to collect all your music royalties.

Streaming royalties are being paid when a music video is streamed on an OTT device such as a mobile phone or smart TV. As a result, it’s possible to leave money on the table when you don’t purchase a separate ISRC number for your music video. These separate ISRC numbers for music videos are only sold by licensed ISRC vendors. Watch this YouTube video for more information.

Web ‘n Retail is licensed by the RIAA to distribute and embed ISRC numbers into your video file. They have been in business for 26 years helping musicians with specific challenges in their career. Furthermore, their flat rate ISRC service for music videos includes services other companies charge extra for.

Make MORE Money Online for Your Music Videos on Video Streaming Platforms like YouTube

Video Streaming sites like YouTube or Vimeo are paying royalties for your music videos and/or lyric videos only if you have an ISRC number embedded in your master video file. Most music distributors usually issue ISRC only for audio tracks rather than your video files so if you also want to GET PAID for your music videos, you need an ISRC embedded in your video file as well!

YouTube does in fact already have their own monetization system in place but what they don’t tell you is that it is possible for you to collect additional royalties not just from your uploaded videos. If your music video does in fact hold an ISRC number, then you will get royalties from your Performing Rights Organization, PRO (ASCAP, BMI, etc), and/or your distributor separate from the money YouTube already pays out to you through their system.

Whether you have a music video, a live concert video or a lyric video, it is a good habit to embed ISRC numbers to your master video files before posting the video ANYWHERE. Web ‘n Retail is licensed by the RIAA to not only issue ISRC numbers but we also fully embed the ISRC to your masters along with ALL your metadata that you may have (including a cover image) .
