A stage name or a one-letter typo, with no IPI on the line. The MLC reads it as a different writer, so the work never shows under him and the open share goes unclaimed.
Your team opens the audit to a map of the whole catalog: every work, writer and recording checked, every problem flagged, every fix ready to file. No spreadsheets, no portal searches, no guesswork.
The MLC matches money by ISRC and pays by MLC Song Code, and it shows members neither. Bulk and manual submissions get no response file. A CWR acknowledgment can say CONFLICT and leave out the work ID. The portal shows a matched recording as “already matched,” never to what. We read the MLC’s full database instead, every ISRC it has linked to every work, and we write the files it actually accepts.
Know what’s missing at the MLC before you price it. We audit the catalog during due diligence and show you what’s unclaimed, mismatched or at risk.
Already closed? We audit the catalog after acquisition and file the corrections, so the royalties follow the catalog to you.
Talk to us about due diligence ›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.
You don’t need to learn the MLC’s templates, bulk-match files or CWR. We build the paperwork, you approve it, and we submit it to the MLC.
