We are often asked: How are ISRC (and UPC) codes embedded in music or video? There are two ways in which ISRC and UPC codes get encoded in your music and video. Both are important and done SEPARATELY.
1) Embedding ISRC Codes in your individual digital audio or video files for uploading, selling/streaming online, radio submission, and a more complete copyright submission. (Done by us – see our Embedding Service)
2) Embedding ISRC Codes in the Master Audio CD for duplication and mass production. (Done by your mastering house, studio, or duplication facility.)
