Common questions about music metadata
What is metadata?
Music metadata refers to the information that describes a recording — including its title, artist, release date, contributors, ISRC, and much more. It’s the data that allows streaming platforms, rights organizations, and music companies to identify, organize, and track songs accurately.
What is the purpose of metadata?
Metadata ensures that songs are correctly identified, credited, and monetized across platforms. It supports everything from playlist placements and search results to royalty collection and catalog management. Without it, artists risk losing visibility and revenue.
Where can I find music metadata?
Metadata is embedded in audio files and distributed through digital platforms, PROs, and metadata databases. With the Soundcharts API, developers can access standardized metadata directly from global sources — including songs, albums, artists, playlists, and live events.
What type of metadata does Soundcharts provide?
Soundcharts provides descriptive, ownership, and analytical metadata. That includes song details (title, ISRC, language, audio features), artist identifiers (ISNI, IPI), release information (UPC, distributor), and event data (festivals and venues).
