Standards

Why DDEX?

DDEX is the global standard for digital music data exchange, adopted by major streaming platforms, record labels, publishers, and collecting societies.

Industry Standardisation

DDEX is widely recognised and adopted by major players in the music industry. By choosing DDEX, you align with industry best practices, simplifying communication between stakeholders.

Efficient Data Exchange

Standardised formats for exchanging digital rights and metadata reduce errors, ensure consistency, and improve efficiency — leading to faster and more accurate processing.

Improved Royalty Distribution

Consistent metadata with digital music files is crucial for accurate royalty distribution. DDEX reduces discrepancies and delays in payments to artists and rights holders.

Scalability

As your music catalogue grows, managing metadata and rights manually becomes increasingly complex. DDEX offers scalable solutions for automating these processes.

Global Adoption

DDEX is a global standard for digital music data exchange, making it easier for companies to operate across borders with interoperable metadata and licensing.

Flexibility

DDEX offers a range of standards tailored to specific needs — ERN for releases, DSR for sales reporting, RIN for recording data, and MSR for media services.

Industry Trends

Prioritise Party Data Flow

The music industry is changing fast. Standardised data exchange isn't optional anymore — it's essential.

Explosion of Platforms & Content

More music is released in a single day than in the entire year of 1989. Team sizes aren't scaling at the same rate to manage this surge.

Rise of Independent Artists

Platforms like TuneCore and CD Baby make it easy to distribute independently — but add a vast amount of data that needs proper tracking.

Ongoing System Upgrades

Many industry players are modernising their systems. Without standardised party data and identifiers, upgrades create more confusion than they solve.

Increasing Transparency in Credits

Streaming services are displaying more detailed contributor credits. This only works if the underlying data is accurate and well-managed.

Growth in Industry Identifiers

Adoption of identifiers like ISNI and IPN is gaining momentum, paving the way for a more connected music ecosystem — but proper implementation is critical.
