How to find your ISRC
in your distributor.

The dashboard is the source of truth

The code on your release is the one the distributor sent to stores. Public catalogs can lag, miss a brand-new upload, or return a different version. For your own tracks, read the ISRC in the distributor account and save it. For a song you did not release, use the free lookup on this page.

Menus move. The paths below match each company's own help pages; if a button has been renamed, their help center is the authority. The 12-character format, if you want to sanity-check a code you copied, is in what an ISRC is.

Find an ISRC in DistroKid

Log in and open your music list (distrokid.com/mymusic). Click the release title to open the album page. The ISRC is listed beside each track.

DistroKid assigns a code automatically, at no extra charge, when you do not bring your own. It is created around the time the release is submitted to stores, so a draft that has not been submitted may not show one yet. If you need the code before release day, set a future release date, wait until the album page lists the ISRC, and write it down. You can also type an existing ISRC in at upload.

Where to find a TuneCore ISRC

Open the release from your TuneCore discography. On the release overview, the Songs section shows the ISRC under each track title and artist.

If you left the ISRC field blank while uploading, TuneCore generates one when the song details are saved. If you already had a code, enter it in the ISRC Number field during upload and that is the code the release keeps. TuneCore's help article on UPCs and ISRCs is the reference if the labels on the page change. This site is not affiliated with TuneCore.

CD Baby, UnitedMasters and Amuse

Open the release, then read the code on the track. The menus differ:

• ▸CD Baby: Albums & Singles, then view/edit the release. The Title Overview lists each track's ISRC under Tracks & Audio. The UPC is in the summary box above. If you did not type a code, CD Baby assigns one as part of distribution.
• ▸UnitedMasters, on the website: Music in the sidebar, then the release cover. ISRCs sit next to the tracks. They appear after the release is approved and delivered, not while it is still in review. In the app, open the release from your profile, pick the track, and use the information icon.
• ▸Amuse: leave the ISRC blank on a new track and Amuse assigns one at no charge. After the release is approved, the code is on each track in the app. If the same recording moves from a single onto an album, paste the original ISRC so a second code is not created for the same audio.

You already had a code

Each of these distributors lets you supply an existing ISRC at upload. Do that whenever the recording was released before, including a single that is now an album track. A new code splits streams and royalties across two identities. If the field was left blank, the distributor's code is the one stores received. Keep using it if you later switch distributors.

When the code is missing

A release that is still a draft, waiting for review, or not yet submitted often has no ISRC. Wait until the distributor shows the code, then look again. A track that was taken down, or never delivered, will not appear in public catalogs either.

Ask the distributor, with the release title and track name. They stored or issued the code. Do not invent one, and do not reuse a code from a different recording. To have a code before any upload, apply through your national agency, as described in how to get an ISRC.

Someone else's song

A distributor dashboard only shows your catalog. To find the ISRC of any other song, use the search on this page: "Title - Artist", or a Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or Deezer track link. The Spotify ISRC finder is the same lookup aimed at Spotify links. The ISRC lookup runs the other way, from a code back to the song, including up to 20 lines at once.

Save the codes

Copy every ISRC into your own notes the first time you see it: title, version (radio edit, remaster, live), duration, ISRC, and the UPC of the release. Neighbouring-rights registration, a distributor switch and a sync pitch all ask for them, and an old account is a bad place to go hunting later.
