MetaData equals Royalties

Making a Scene Presents - AI in Metadata & File Prep: Smarter Exports for DistributionWhat is metadata, and why should you care about it?Imagine this: you write a song, record it, and then send it out into the world. But who “owns” that song? Who wrote it? Who should get paid when people listen? How will streaming services or radio stations know which song it is, among millions of others? That’s where metadata comes in.Metadata is “data about data.” In music, metadata is all the information attached to a recording (or a track) that describes it: the song title, who the artist is, who wrote it, who owns it, when it was released, the track number on an album, and unique codes like an ISRC (International Standard Recording Code). Without good metadata, your track is like a book without a cover or title page—it’s hard to identify, harder to track, and easier to lose. http://www.makingascene.org
