How to find the ISRC
of a song.

Search by title and artist

Type the song and the artist into the box above. "Blinding Lights by The Weeknd" is unambiguous. "Blinding Lights - The Weeknd" works too. Press Find ISRC.

When several recordings share a title, each result shows album, duration and release date so you can pick the version you mean. A famous title with no artist will be ambiguous. Add the artist.

Paste a Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or Deezer link

A track link is more precise than a typed title, because the title, artist and version come from the page you copied. Album links and playlist links are not read. Open the specific song first.

• ▸Spotify: Share, then Copy Song Link. It looks like https://open.spotify.com/track/… and extra ?si= parameters are fine. The dedicated walkthrough is the Spotify ISRC finder.
• ▸Apple Music: share the song, not the album, and copy the link. music.apple.com and itunes.apple.com song links both work.
• ▸YouTube and YouTube Music: copy the video or track link. The title is cleaned up where it is obvious (a "Topic" channel, a "VEVO" suffix), then matched to the catalog.
• ▸Deezer: copy the track link. The same box also accepts an ISRC or a UPC if that is what you already have.

What the result includes

Each match shows the track title, artists, album, UPC when the catalog publishes one, release date, duration and label, plus a link to the track on Deezer and, when it exists, MusicBrainz. A check mark means MusicBrainz has the same ISRC on a recording with a matching title. No match there is common for new independent releases and does not mean the code is wrong.

ISRC Finder reads public catalogs. It does not invent codes. If you need a code that is official for a royalty claim or a license, confirm it with the label or distributor that delivered the release.

Reverse lookup when you already have a code

Paste the 12 characters, with or without hyphens. USUM71900764 and US-UM7-19-00764 are the same code. Lower case is fine. The ISRC lookup page is built for this direction and for checking up to 20 codes at once, with a CSV export. Use it when a statement lists codes and you need the titles.

Every track on an album, from the UPC

If you have the barcode of a single, EP or album, enter the 12-digit UPC or 13-digit EAN. The result lists every track and its ISRC. That is the fastest way to fill a spreadsheet for one release. The UPC lookup covers the barcode side, including why the same recording can show a different UPC on a compilation.

Why a remaster has a different ISRC

An ISRC identifies the recording, not the song title. The original, a remaster, a radio edit, a live version and a cover are different recordings, so each has its own code. If the first result says "Remastered 2011", compare the duration and album with the version you actually need before you copy the code into a license or a cue sheet.

A cover shares the composition, not the ISRC. That split, and the UPC that sits on the release, is ISRC vs UPC vs ISWC.

When public catalogs miss a song

Deezer and MusicBrainz cover most commercial releases, not every one. Very new independent uploads, tracks never delivered to Deezer, region-locked editions and songs that were assigned a code but never released can be missing. An empty result is not proof that the song has no ISRC.

If it is your release, read the code in your distributor dashboard. That record is the source of truth, including before the stores have caught up. The paths are in how to find your ISRC in DistroKid, TuneCore and others. If it is someone else's song and the lookup is empty, try the title without a version suffix, or ask the label.

Which search to use

The lookup is free. No account is required. A fair-use limit keeps the public catalogs available.

• ▸You know the song but not the code: title and artist, or a track link, in the box above.
• ▸You are looking at Spotify: paste the song link. See the Spotify ISRC finder.
• ▸A statement gave you a code: reverse lookup on the ISRC lookup.
• ▸You have the album barcode: enter the UPC, then copy each track's ISRC.
• ▸It is your unreleased or just-delivered single: use your distributor, not a public search.
