PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Search is king.

And just as search engine optimization (SEO) helps find most relevant results, metadata helps find new music and rights holders to license it.

Metadata is the information embedded in a digital music file that makes it searchable and license-able.  Missing or incomplete metadata or “tagging” results in “Track 1, Track 2” appearing on a digital device when the song is played.

Subjective and accurate metadata (or keywords) helps music buyers find a song or cue to use for a specific purpose or scene. Tagging a track with specific keywords (for example “uplifting, brass crescendo, female vocals, hand claps” or any other element) makes it more likely the track will be found by a music buyer seeking those specific elements.

Metadata can make the difference between a song being found and licensed, or not.

No one can license a track if there is no contact information for rights holders attached to the digital sound file.  Just as important, once a song is licensed, accurate metadata is crucial to enable tracking and payment to its rights holders.

You are invited to attend NARIP’s program on this important topic.
