MetaMusic is now in Public Beta
A one-of-a-kind
music metadata tool
MetaMusic is a metadata management tool developed by and for the music industry in Quebec and Canada. It allows you to document new releases with complete metadata, simplifying distribution, reporting and referencing. More than ever, what goes on the record cover must go on the Internet, and MetaMusic is here to help!
Comprehensive, standardized metadata
Metadata is well established as important for referencing music in streaming platforms and ensuring fair royalty payment. MetaMusic is the only tool of its kind in the world, designed by and for creators and professionals in Quebec and Canada. We meet the local needs of institutions and PROs/CMOs while providing a local response to a global challenge in sync with current standards such as DDEX.
To put an end to approximate or incomplete online credits, put your music online the right way with MetaMusic!
All credits, from one end of the process to the other
A song with incomplete metadata will see its algorithmic potential limited, not to mention the potential impact on certain royalty payments. Prevent these situations by documenting your new releases with mandatory and recommended metadata.
You never know which contributors will help you discover a piece or an album, so MetaMusic includes all contributors. Whether having worked with a legendary author, an influential producer or a star cover designer, the interconnections enabled by linked data are unsuspected vectors of discoverability. This is all the more true with the increased demands of platforms!
A platform that evolves with industry standards
MetaMusic's platform is designed to evolve with documentation needs, based on DDEX standards. Platforms suddenly want to know the details of a piece's performers or obtain an ISNI for every contributor? All this will be just a few clicks away in MetaMusic.
As soon as new standards or metadata become mandatory, MetaMusic will make them available to everyone simultaneously to create optimal conditions for all.
A collaborative platform
MetaMusic simplifies collaboration for sustainable credit and metadata capture. There's no longer any need to exchange multiple emails for the credits of a work or a recording session. Most contributors just have to create a profile and add their details once. They are then visible and easily identifiable by makers, labels or publishers. This task can even be delegated to their team.
For makers, labels and publishers, what is sometimes a complex and repetitive job becomes an optimized one that limits duplicates, errors and tedious email follow-ups.
Designed to save everyone time!
MetaMusic isn't one more thing you have to do; it's instead less work to do the next time you release an album. The metadata tool will evolve according to our collective needs and your realities, adding other connections and exports to help you gain efficiency and meet the challenges of the creators and artisans who keep our music alive!

By associating works and their ISWCs with recordings and their ISRCs at the source, MetaMusic makes it easy to identify, reference and even remunerate songwriters and publishers.
By simplifying collaboration between publishers and producers, MetaMusic provides a local solution to a global challenge.
Furthermore, after you upload your catalogue, all valid works will be created and a list of invalid works allow you to identify issues in your works and correct them accordingly!
Connected to SOPROQ and Artisti from the outset, MetaMusic will enable registrations and declarations with just a few clicks from within the tool.
We will continue to add local, national, and global exports and connections to benefit our users, their discoverability, and revenues.
Gather and connect all the identifiers and information corresponding to your industry roles on a single reference platform, whether you’re an individual or a company.
With MetaMusic, you’ll be able to collect all your unique identifiers, such as IPI, IPN and ISNI, so you’ll never have to search for them again and ensure you’re correctly identified, whatever your role. As Canada’s first ISNI agency, MetaMusic can also validate or assign you this unique creator identifier, which is now required by more and more platforms to link all your creations together.
In just a few clicks, you can ensure that all your credentials follow you permanently and efficiently, so you never have to worry about them again.
With professional users and managers in mind, MetaMusic has designed specific processes to reduce onboarding time and effort.
