What is a Metadata Management Tool?

A music metadata management tool is software designed to efficiently manage and organize the metadata related to music assets.

 

Metadata mainly refers to information about the work itself, such as song titles, artist names, album information, copyright details, release dates, and more.


Managing metadata accurately is essential for licensing, tracking the consumption, rights management, royalty collection & calculations and the overall organization of music content.

 

Music metadata management tools provide an automated way to handle all this information.

 

How can Metadata management tools help record labels, publishers and artists?

 

●      Store & modify metadata: These tools allow users to input, store and edit music/ audio-visual metadata such as music tracks, albums, and other music assets. This can include information about songwriters, composers, performers, ISRC and ISWC codes, copyright holders, and more.


●      Metadata standardization: These tools facilitate the standardization of metadata according to industry guidelines and standards, ensuring consistency and accuracy.


●      Exchange metadata: You can now share metadata in the right format with other societies or DSPs easily


●      Metadata enrichment: These tools also help identify and enrich metadata by matching incoming data with master data. This helps you identify the irregularities and complete metadata by updating it correctly. This can include album artwork, genre tags, and more.


●      Reporting and analytics: These tools provide detailed reports and analytics about music usage, performance, and royalties, based on metadata.


●      Data Protection: Some metadata management tools integrate with content protection mechanisms to prevent piracy and unauthorized distribution of music.


●      Assign user policies: Some tools support collaborative features, enabling multiple users or teams to work together on metadata management based on internal organization rules.
