Metadata
The information attached to a track: artist, title, ISRC, credits, genre.
Bad metadata is the most common cause of missing royalties. Keep artist names, remixer credits and writer splits identical everywhere.
Use this in your own career
audioglyph.io keeps your press kit, artist page, smart links, contacts, contracts and analytics together, so terms like metadata turn into decisions you can actually track.
