I would honestly take this a step further (and did) and buy your own isrc code. $95 for a lifetime and you get 100,000 codes a year for free that way if you ever decide to move distributors you own your isrc code and there's no fighting to take your music to another platform. I thought about doing the same thing with the UPC code but I just felt like that was overdoing it. 🤣 but if you're doing everything yourself anyway be truly independent it's literally just one more step and it's super easy! I have it all in a spreadsheet with the ASCAP IPI my publishing IPI isrc with and without dashes song duration release date all in one spreadsheet. I don't feel like there's anything more important than being organized.

I created a songwriter account with BMI so do I need to create a new one for publishing if I’m both?

Hope this was helpful! Guard your publishing and don't forget to register — if you have a hit song, you don't want your royalties going unclaimed!

Only thing you left off was SoundExchange or the other countries equivalents like PPL but maybe this was more copyright based rather than revenue collection based

The Soapbox Salute :
Ive seen and disturbing trend among a couple different artists where they posted a teaser of a song that hasn’t come out yet. And someone used AI to create and produce a song around that section and released it before they did. I’m guessing the solution is don’t post teasers? Love your thoughts on this. If I see a video with this is happening. I’ll tag you.

When I upload to Distro I immediately put Social Media / YouTube protection on it - I’ve had videos get claimed by my own music uploaded by someone else until I figured this out.
