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, and some require ISNIs.

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. Sound Credit is an official ISNI Registration Agency, and an official ISRC Manager. So the codes are recognized by all major distributors, labels, and streaming services.

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 exports.

Are ISNIs and ISRCs free?

You get your ISNI generated with the free Essential plan, and the paid Essential Unlimited plan. When entering credits you can pull in ISNIs from other people's Creator ID profiles, or fill in the ISNI field if you know their ISNI.

For the paid Pro and Business plans you get all of the above, plus you can also register unlimited new ISNIs for other people while adding their credits.

Unlimited ISRC generation is included on all 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. And ISNIs are registered in the central registry system at ISNI.org.
