Catalog audit, rights recovery, distributor migration, sync qualification. Every mission delivers an actionable output — on demand, no subscription.
Not projections — findings from actual SoundsPro catalog audits.
01
62
RELATED UPCS SURFACED FROM ONE
A single client-provided UPC, expanded through ISRC-level relationship mapping, surfaced 62 distinct releases worldwide — none of them in the client's own records.
02
52.5%
AVG. SHARE ACTUALLY CLAIMED AT MLC
On a major catalog assumed to be fully collected, average matched share claimed at the MLC was just 52.5% — some tracks as low as 8.2%.
03
28x
VIEWS-PER-SUBSCRIBER, TOPIC VS. OFFICIAL
YouTube's auto-generated Topic channel converted views 28x more efficiently than the official channel — audience and ownership don't always align.
Four situations, four missions. Find the one that matches where your catalog is right now.
ACQUISITION &
VALUATION
A catalog's value rests on the accuracy of its rights and the consistency of its revenue across sources. SoundsPro delivers a consolidated, verified view before any due diligence — so negotiations are grounded in indisputable data.

RECOVERY
Uncollected rights don't disappear — they accumulate. SoundsPro cross-references multi-source statements, identifies gaps between what is generated and what is collected, and produces the documentation needed to claim them.

MIGRATION
Just switched distributor — or about to? SoundsPro verifies every UPC and ISRC survived the transition intact, before missing metadata costs you months of fragmented revenue on the platforms that matter.

PLACEMENT
Sync supervisors search by data, not by ear. SoundsPro qualifies every track — contributors, mood, genre, technical metadata — so your catalog surfaces the moment a placement opportunity appears.
Contact usA structural, documented, and worsening problem. Across the entire industry, catalog auditing requires dedicated internal resources — and no on-demand external solution currently fills that gap.
01
$2.5B
IN UNCLAIMED RIGHTS ANNUALLY
The music industry's royalty black box — funds blocked due to missing or incorrect metadata preventing rights holder identification. Across streaming platforms, CMOs, and distribution networks, metadata gaps compound at every rights transfer.
02
$13B
IN CATALOGS ASSESSED IN 2025
566 catalogs valued in 2025, up from $10.7B in 2024. Buyers pay a premium for clean data. Incomplete metadata extends negotiations and lowers valuation multiples.
03
Up to 9 months
PAYMENT DELAY
Maximum delay between royalty generation and actual payment — direct consequence of mismatched metadata and unsynchronized databases across the industry.
An on-demand technical service for music catalog audits — not software, not a platform. Every mission starts from your own UPCs and ISRCs and delivers a directly usable, verified output on rights, metadata, and revenue exposure.
SCOPE
01
We start by qualifying your catalog: UPCs, ISRCs, distributors, territories. The exact scope of the mission — down to the track and work level — is defined before we begin, no surprises along the way.
CROSS-CHECK
02
Real-time cross-referencing across DSPs and rights organizations, validated against DDEX metadata standards (ERN, MEAD) and ID3 tagging, matching ISRC-to-ISWC links to surface what a single source never shows. Data is verified live at the time of the mission — not pulled from a static database.
DELIVERABLE
03
A consolidated, actionable audit report delivered within 48 hours (diagnostic missions) or a few days (full catalog scopes). Delivered as Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets — ready to act on immediately, no proprietary viewer required.
