Frequently asked questions

We're here to help with any questions you have about ISNI & ISRC generation.

What’s an ISNI, and why do I need one?

ISNI stands for International Standard Name Identifier. It helps confirm your identity across platforms like streaming services, publishers, and PROs. It’s especially important if others share your name. Streaming services use ISNIs to determine which artist page your new releases appear upon.

How do I get an ISNI through Sound Credit?

Just fill out a quick form with your basic info. If you already have an ISNI, Sound Credit will retrieve it instead of duplicating.

What’s an ISRC?

The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique ID assigned to individual sound recordings. It’s essential for tracking royalties and reporting to rights organizations.

Can I generate ISRCs for unreleased tracks?

Yes. You can use Sound Credit to assign ISRCs before your music is distributed, and they’ll be ready for any distributor or PRO.

Are these codes recognized by major services?

Yes. We generate official ISNI and ISRC codes via accredited channels. They’re ready for delivery to all major distributors, labels, and publishing systems.

Can I export these codes?

Yes. ISNI, ISRC, and GRID codes are exportable as part of your project metadata. They’re included in all relevant templates.

Are ISNIs and ISRCs free?

You get your ISNI generated for free with your Sound Credit account (yes, even with the free "Essential" plan). ISRC generation is only included on paid tiers.

Do I have to manage these manually?

No. Codes are automatically stored, organized, and connected to your project metadata—ready whenever you need them.
