Found the code at your society? Add it

Society registers (SACEM, SCPP, GEMA…) can't be read automatically. If you see this song's ISWC or ISRC there, add it: we check it before it shows on the page.

Without this link a society can't tell which song a reported stream belongs to, so the writers' money waits. How to fix it →
