About ISRC Finder.
A free lookup, not a registry.

What the free lookup does

ISRC Finder looks up the International Standard Recording Code of a sound recording. Type a song and artist, paste a Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music or Deezer track link, enter a 12-character ISRC (with or without dashes) to see which recording it belongs to, or enter a UPC/EAN barcode to list the ISRCs on that release.

Single lookups and bulk runs of up to 20 lines are free and do not require an account. Bulk results can be copied or downloaded as CSV. A limit of 40 lookups per minute per IP keeps the service usable for everyone. The tool shows title, artists, album, UPC when the catalog publishes one, release date, duration and links.

It does not create, assign or register ISRCs. A result is a code that a public catalog already lists. If you need a new code for your own release, your distributor or your national ISRC agency is the place that issues it.

Who runs it

ISRC Finder is an independent project maintained by the person who publishes isrcfinder.app. The public contact is eratolabcool@gmail.com, the same address the site already sends with its catalog requests. There is no separate company, office or phone number listed for this site.

The project is not a label, a distributor, a collecting society or a streaming service. It does not claim to be, and is not, the official database of any ISRC agency.

Where the data actually comes from

ISRC Finder does not keep a private copy of an official registry. Each lookup reads public sources, then may store a successful result for up to 7 days so the same query is not sent again immediately. A cached row can lag a correction in the source catalog by up to a week.

• ▸Deezer’s public API is the main catalog. Track records include the ISRC Deezer publishes; album records include the UPC, label and release date when Deezer publishes them. Title search, reverse ISRC lookup and UPC lookup all use this API. It is the public API, not a private label feed.
• ▸MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopedia run by the MetaBrainz Foundation, is the second source. The top result is cross-checked by ISRC. A check mark means MusicBrainz has that ISRC on a recording with a matching title. It does not mean an official agency certified the code. If Deezer has no hit, the tool searches MusicBrainz recordings. MusicBrainz data is submitted by its community and data partners and is often incomplete for new or small releases.
• ▸Spotify links have two paths. If Spotify Web API credentials are configured on the server, the ISRC is read from the track’s external_ids.isrc and the UPC from the album. If they are not configured, the tool only reads the public track page for title, artist and album, then matches that text in Deezer and, if needed, MusicBrainz. In that second case Spotify itself did not supply the code.
• ▸Apple Music and iTunes links use the public iTunes lookup API (or the public page title) for title, artist and album. The ISRC is then matched in Deezer or MusicBrainz. Apple does not return an ISRC to this tool.
• ▸YouTube and YouTube Music links use the public oEmbed endpoint for the video title and channel name. Those are parsed into a song and artist and matched in the catalogs. YouTube does not provide an ISRC here.
• ▸A Deezer track link is looked up directly in the Deezer API.

What a result is not

A result is what those public catalogs currently say. They contain mistakes: a remaster code on an original album, a compilation with a different code, a missing independent release, a title that matches the wrong version. Several ISRCs for one song title is normal, because each recording (original, remaster, radio edit, live take) has its own code.

“No match” does not prove a code is invalid or that a song has no ISRC. Very new releases, store exclusives and recordings that were never delivered to Deezer or MusicBrainz will not appear. For royalties, licensing or any legal use, confirm the code with the distributor, label or registrant who assigned it.

Independent of IFPI and every registry

ISRC Finder is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by IFPI, the International ISRC Agency, or any national ISRC agency or registry (including the RIAA’s US ISRC agency and PPL in the United Kingdom). It cannot register a code, transfer one, or tell you who the legal owner is.

It is also not affiliated with Deezer, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Google, MusicBrainz, the MetaBrainz Foundation or GS1. Those names appear only because the tool reads their public data or because their standards define what an ISRC or a UPC is. Their trademarks belong to them.
