Metadata Means $$$
In the digital age, music is more accessible than ever before. However, this convenience comes with a challenge: ensuring that musicians and creators are properly compensated for their work.
One way to ensure that you are paid for your music is to accurately and completely tag your songs with music metadata. Music metadata is the data that describes a song, including the artist, title, genre, album, and release date. This data is essential for music streaming services to track which songs are being played and to pay royalties to the appropriate copyright holders.
By taking the time to tag your songs correctly, you can help to ensure that you are paid for your work. Additionally, registering your songs with a PRO (Performance Rights Organization) can help to further protect your rights and ensure that you receive the royalties you deserve.
