An ISRC code consists of four parts: the country code, the registrant code, the year of reference, and the designation code. Each component serves a specific purpose in identifying the origin and ownership of the recording. Understanding this structure is key to comprehending the significance of ISRC codes in the music industry.

Whether you're a musician, a producer, or a music enthusiast, understanding the importance of ISRC codes is essential. If you have released your music your distributor can provide you with your ISRC code

Artist’s need to acknowledge other artists when using their music. Tagging is a great start. When you upload a mix make sure you include the set list when you upload it. It helps the artists receive royalties and gives the artists recognition and exposure for their tunes. There is this great free website that creates time stamps for your set for Ableton, Rekordbox and Fruityloop users. Link is in comments below
