how to organize your music catalog (finally)

a well-organized catalog is worth money. sync supervisors, PROs, and distributors all need clean metadata. here's how to get there.

why organization matters

disorganized catalogs lose money. sync opportunities missed because you couldn't find the right song. royalties uncollected because metadata was wrong. time wasted searching through folders instead of creating.

the essential metadata

every work needs: title, writers, publishers, splits, ISWC (if registered), release date, genre/mood tags. every recording needs: ISRC, performers, label, release info, audio features.

file organization

audio files, stems, documents, and artwork should all be connected to the work they belong to. version control matters. know which mix is the master, which is the TV edit, which is the demo.

enrichment sources

don't enter everything manually. PICA triangulates from ISNI (verified writer identities), MusicBrainz (recording metadata), and Spotify (audio analysis). let these sources fill in the gaps automatically.

organize your catalog in minutes

import from spreadsheets, notion, or airtable. pica organizes and enriches your catalog automatically.
