An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique ID assigned to each of your recordings. It follows your song across every store and streaming service so plays and sales are counted correctly and royalties reach you. Here's what it means — and how to get ISRCs at no cost.
An ISRC identifies a specific recording — not the song itself, but that exact recorded version. It's a 12-character code (like CC-XXX-YY-NNNNN). Platforms use it to track every stream and download and attribute them to the right rights-holder. You need one ISRC per recording, you keep it for life, and a remix or a re-recorded version gets its own new ISRC.
You don't have to buy ISRCs one by one. A distributor assigns them automatically when you release. With Mazufa Records, every track you distribute gets a valid ISRC free, so your streams are tracked correctly across all 150+ platforms — and you keep 100% of your royalties, with 0% commission.
