The purpose of the ISRC is to provide a unique identifier for each sound recording so that it can be tracked and identified throughout the world. This helps to ensure that the correct owners and creators are credited for their work and that they receive appropriate royalties when their music is used.
ISRC codes are used by digital music services, record labels, and collecting societies to track the use of music across different platforms and territories. They are also used by performers and producers to keep track of their work and ensure that they receive the appropriate credit and payment for their contributions
