In today’s music industry, the quality and accuracy of your metadata has a direct and significant impact on how people find and pay for your music.

Good metadata, good tagging and proper customisation of your metadata is crucial to your success in sync, in finding and keeping in touch with new fans, securing potential collaborations and endorsements and maximizing the amount of money you can make from your music.

Think about it, the way people find music is based on metadata.  Every Google search, every search for music on Spotify or Apple Music, every search a music supervisor makes looking for music, they’re all powered by metadata. Without the right metadata you and your music won’t get found and you’ll miss out on potential opportunities and payments by streaming services, music supervisors, editors and fans.


So what does having high quality, accurate metadata mean?  

It’s a lot more than just putting in your basic information in your Mp3s in iTunes – that’s just the beginning.

You need to make the right choices in listing and tagging to get found by the right people, and you need to know how to tweak and customise your metadata so that it is tailored to the needs of streaming services, search engines and social media.

Giving you the tools, the information and the insights you need to make your metadata as relevant and accurate as possible, and do it efficiently and correctly is the mission out our new Metadata for Music Workshop.
