What is an ISRC?
ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code. Similar to the way a UPC identifies a physical recording, the ISRC is likely to become the new industry standard for identifying digital audio and video recordings. Encoded directly into the fabric of individual digital tracks, ISRCs are permanent 12-character digital fingerprints that identify recordings for royalty payments and track administration. Some of the major DMSs require that ISRCs are assigned to tracks before they make them available.
