Helps artists prepare for re-release and catalogue migration
When songs were released through an old distributor, important release records can become difficult to access. Available metadata can help you organise records before submitting music again or discussing a catalogue issue.
Details that may be useful before re-release
- - Original ISRC where available
- - Original UPC or EAN where available
- - Original release date
- - Spotify track and album URLs
- - Spotify Track ID and Album ID
- - Track length
- - Available release copyright details
For old distributor recovery
If a distributor dashboard is closed, an account is inaccessible or a release was taken down, a metadata report may help you rebuild catalogue notes before contacting a distributor, label, support team or rights administrator.

FAQ
Can metadata help when re-releasing music?
Available ISRC, UPC, release date and platform IDs may help with preparation and record keeping, but distributors decide what they accept.
Should I reuse an old ISRC?
That depends on your distributor, rights situation and whether the recording is the same. SongCode Finder helps locate available data but does not give legal or distribution advice.
Can this help after a distributor account is lost?
Yes, it may help retrieve available catalogue metadata when old dashboard access or release records are missing.
Is the metadata official proof of ownership?
No. The report is a metadata lookup from available platform data and is not a legal ownership certificate or rights registry record.
Important note
SongCode Finder helps retrieve available catalogue metadata from platform data where available. It is not an official Spotify, Apple, IFPI, distributor, label or rights registry service, and results are not guaranteed.
