Module 6.1: Regularly Adding New Songs
A music catalogue is not a static collection—it should grow and evolve as you create new music. Regularly adding new tracks keeps your catalogue fresh and relevant.
Each time you release new music, make sure to add it to your catalogue with complete metadata, proper categorization, and all the necessary files and versions.
Key Points:
- Consistent Process: Follow the same organization and metadata protocols for new additions.
- P.R.O. Registration: Register new tracks with your Performing Rights Organization as you add them to your catalogue.
Module 6.2: Updating Metadata and Song Information
Over time, you may need to update the metadata and information associated with your tracks. This could be due to changes in ownership, contact information, or simply to improve the accuracy and completeness of your catalogue.
Regular audits of your catalogue help ensure that all information remains current and accurate, which is essential for proper royalty collection and licensing opportunities.
Key Points:
- Regular Audits: Schedule quarterly reviews of your catalogue to check for outdated information.
- Version Control: Keep track of different versions and updates to avoid confusion.
