Unclaimed royalties hide in plain sight. Our proprietary 3TEX algorithm sweeps through more than 1.2 billion rows of MLC data, untangling every legal name, stage name, misspelling and IPI until each credit leads to the one writer it belongs to. Then it follows the money to the exact point where it stopped.

Every MLC registration, mapped and resolved

Every song registered to a writer, in one list. Open any song to see its writers, publishers, splits, recordings and unclaimed royalties. Every problem is flagged, with the fix ready to file.

“We have zero insight into which ISRCs are associated with the work.”

Jeff Price, founder of TuneCore and Word Collections, writing to the MLC, February 2024. Read the letter →

The MLC matches money by ISRC and pays it out by MLC Song Code, but it never shows members how the two connect. Bulk and manual submissions get no response file. A CWR acknowledgment can say CONFLICT and leave out the work ID. The portal marks a recording “already matched” without saying to which work. We read the MLC’s full database instead, every ISRC it has linked to every work, and write the files it actually accepts.

ISRC → WORKThe ISRC mapEvery recording proven to your writers and where the MLC put it: your registration, someone else’s, a duplicate, or nowhere, store by store. It’s the list the MLC portal won’t give you, and the starting point for every fix we file.

MLC SONG CODESEvery work ID, resolvedThe MLC flags conflicts without telling you which work. We give you every song code in your catalog, duplicates and others’ copies included, so you know exactly what’s in conflict and who’s on the other side.

BULKMATCHSUGGESTIONS.CSVBulk-match CSVA song can be registered to you and still earn nothing if its recordings aren’t attached to it. We match every unattached recording to the right song code, with proof, submit the file to the MLC, and track each month’s response until the money is routed to you.

REGISTRATION TEMPLATEBulk registrationSongs missing from the MLC, writers left off, recordings never attached: we build the registration file for you in the MLC’s own template, every ISRC in the column the MLC reads, ready to upload. Nothing to retype, nothing to learn.

CWR · ACKCWR and ACK filesWe send your registrations to the MLC as CWR files, then check every reply against the MLC’s own data. If a song is accepted but its recordings still aren’t being paid, we catch it.

SUPPORT TICKETSTickets the MLC can act onWrong matches and duplicates, written the way the MLC asks: your member number, both song codes, the ISRCs and the proof. Each ticket demands the MLC claw back every misrouted payment, and we follow it until the money comes back.

Fraud monitoring that never sleeps

When someone registers a song and the MLC matches one of your recordings to it, we alert you right away, so you can act before the money moves.

We watch every new registration at the MLC
