Metadata: what to check before distribution

A clear review of titles, credits, splits, ISRCs, and names before delivering a song.

By Antídoto Music Group · Updated August 24, 2026

Credits are part of the work

Title, primary artist, writers, publishers, producers, and participants should match the agreements that actually exist. A credit should not be used to settle a dispute after distribution; it should reflect what the parties confirmed beforehand.

Compare against your documents

Review metadata against the split sheet, composition registration, and distributor data. Check accents, legal names, artist names, IPI numbers, percentages, and ISRCs. A small mismatch can separate reports or make a correction harder.

Save an approved version

Before delivery, save the final fields and who approved them. If a platform returns an error, you can identify what changed. Antídoto's checker organizes this review but does not determine ownership or replace legal advice.

Keep working
