'TuneCore has simplified the royalty collecting process with a web-based portal that is virtually paperless and is available to all songwriters worldwide,' Jamie Purpora, President TuneCore Music Publishing Administration.
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 30, 2013
TuneCore, the premier provider of digital music distribution, announced today a major enhancement to its Music Publishing Administration Service with the launch of a new tool that provides songwriters unprecedented insights into the song registration process, along with actionable feedback. The tool will facilitate quicker registrations and more efficient royalty collection by TuneCore from over 60 countries.
“Successful end-to-end song registration and royalty collection is dependent upon a multi-step, coordinated process involving the songwriter, publishing administrator, digital music stores and local collection societies in over 60 countries. TuneCore has simplified the royalty collecting process with a web-based portal that is virtually paperless and is available to all songwriters worldwide,” says Jamie Purpora, President of Music Publishing Administration. Purpora continues, “With the launch of Song Registration Manager, we’ve created even more efficiencies by giving songwriters a tool to quickly see and resolve any song registration issues like missing splits or disputes, which expedites TuneCore’s ability to collect royalties due to songwriters.”
Another potential revenue earning opportunity for our songwriters is the recently launched TuneCore Sync and Master Licensing Database. The invite-only website is a valuable source for the industry’s top Music Supervisors to find new music for their film, TV, video game and other commercial-use projects. In addition to negotiating the most favorable rights and ensuring compositions are licensed legally, TuneCore Music Publishing Administration in-house Creative is in daily contact with buyers across all media to actively pitch TuneCore administered compositions based on the buyers’ current needs. TuneCore administered compositions are already featured in a range of projects, including: "Merrild Coffee" commercial, ESPN promotion spots, FOX Sports MLB promotion spots, FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” ABC Family’s “The Vineyard” and 20th Century Fox film “Epic.”
Artists using both TuneCore Music Publishing Administration and Music Distribution services fully maximize their revenue and get these three benefits. First, the distribution sales activity creates an audit trail, which TuneCore uses to verify that the correct royalties are being paid. Second, the songs are available in the TuneCore Sync and Master Licensing Database for potential commercial use. Lastly, the royalty earnings and sales revenue are put in an artist’s individual account for a holistic view of all their earnings collected by TuneCore.
