🔹 Introduction
The IPI code (Interested Party Information) is a unique international identification number used by all collective management organizations to identify authors, composers, and music publishers worldwide.
This code uniquely represents you as the owner of your rights, distinguishing you from all other authors, composers, and publishers.
The IPI code is essential for linking your musical works to your rights, allowing you to track the performance of your music and pay the correct royalties. 🎯 This is why we recommend always indicating the IPI of all rights holders when registering your Works.
🛠 How is the IPI code assigned in Soundreef?
📌 Is Soundreef your first collecting society?
✔️ Within 5 weeks of completing your first Work Registration in your account, Soundreef will automatically generate your IPI code. You will find it associated with your profile and visible directly on the Home page.
📌 Do you already have an IPI code from another collecting society?
✔️ It will remain unchanged in Soundreef: you will inform us directly during the verification of your account, following registration.
💬 FAQ
🔹 Do I have to wait for the IPI code to start registering my Works?
No. The first music registration is precisely to activate the generation of your IPI code. In the meantime, you can continue to register other works.
🔹 Can I report an existing IPI code I already have?
Yes, during the registration and account verification process, you can inform us of your IPI code if you come from another collecting society.
🔹 I don't remember my IPI code. What happens?
No problem: we will retrieve it during the account verification using your personal data.
🔹 Can I ask about the status of the IPI code generation?
If more than 5 weeks have passed since the completion of your first Work Registration, yes, you can contact us via Messenger on the website or in your account, providing your Soundreef ID; we will update you on the status of the generation.
✅ Conclusion
The IPI code is essential for correctly identifying you in the international database. Soundreef generates it after the first Work Registration (or retrieves it if it already exists), ensuring precise and transparent management of your royalties.
