It’s been less than a year since SoundExchange launched its searchable ISRC database. What a wonderful resource for the music industry!
What’s an ISRC? It is the International Sound Recording Code. Less important, perhaps, to songwriters and music publishers than the International Standard Musical Work Code, but the ISRC is an indispensable identifier of sound recordings.
Back to the SoundExchange database. Which songs should we search for? How about the Academy Award Nominees for Music (Original Song)?
