Songwriting

Recording

Link the recording to its composition

1. Check that the work is registered at your society and note its ISWC.
2. Send the recording's ISRC with the work's ISWC to your publisher or society so plays of this recording are matched to the work.
3. Ask your distributor to add the songwriters and the ISWC to the release metadata.
4. Ask for the plays that were not matched in past periods to be redistributed where the society allows it.

Get the ISWC confirmed

1. Ask your society for the ISWC of the work. No ISWC often means an incomplete registration.
2. Complete what is missing (writers, splits, publisher) so the code can be assigned.
3. Share the ISWC with your distributor and publisher so platforms can match plays to the work.

Register the recording for neighbouring rights

1. Get the ISRC of the recording from your distributor or label.
2. Join the neighbouring-rights society of each country where the track is played (performers and producers can join).
3. Declare the recording with its ISRC and your role (featured, session, producer).
4. Claim the periods still open; in the US, also search SoundExchange's unclaimed list.
