Before you drop it · protect it

Don't release another song without proof, splits, and registrations in order.

Sonifide organizes ownership, credits, contracts, metadata, and registration-ready filings for the PROs, the MLC, and SoundExchange — before money gets lost.

EXHIBIT · A

The wedge

The mistake usually happens before the song makes money.

Unsigned split. Missing publisher. Verbal producer deal. Wrong metadata. No registration. Distribution tools handle the upload. Nobody protects the business side first. That's where every avoidable royalty leak starts — and where Sonifide locks in.

Before you upload

What happens before you upload to DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby?

Q · 01

Who owns the song?

Writers, producers, publishers, splits, and IPI numbers — locked before release, not after the dispute.

Q · 02

Is the metadata complete?

ISRC, UPC, credits, lyrics, ownership, and release info organized in one record.

Q · 03

Did you register everywhere?

BMI/ASCAP, the MLC, SoundExchange, the Copyright Office — and in what order.

Q · 04

Can you prove the agreement?

Split sheets, producer agreements, and work-for-hire docs — signed, time-stamped, stored.

How it works

  2. 02

    STEP · 02 · OWNERSHIP
