📌 Introduction
Some changes to your registration can be made directly from your account, while others require Soundreef support intervention.
Here is a guide to understand what you can do independently and what requires assistance.
🔄 1. Editing Track Details
Some information can be updated by yourself in your account:
✔ Title and Artist Name → Editable directly on the Track.
Info that cannot be updated in the account:
✔ Genre → Contact Soundreef support (does not affect rights management).
📌 Note: The Artist name in the Soundreef registration is independent from that on DSPs. If you need to update it on streaming platforms, you will need to do so directly with your digital distributor.
📜 2. Editing Rights Holders and Shares
📌 Important:
Do not re-register the work → Request the modification through our Customer Service to avoid duplicates.
You cannot remove an author/composer → Copyright is inalienable and cannot be transferred to third parties.
If a publisher is removed from the split sheet, supporting documentation for the publishing transfer is required, signed by both assignor and assignee, including the effective date.
If you need to update ownership shares or add/remove rights holders:
🔹 Contact Soundreef support directly from your Account providing:
Work ID and Title
Updated Full Chain of Ownership
Roles, Names, % Performance and Mechanical Shares
IPI Codes (if available)
🔹 What happens next?
We will update the registration with the new shares (please note that you — and any involved Soundreef co-authors/publishers — will need to provide digital consent again to approve the replacement registration).
If there are rights holders who are not Soundreef members, they must also update the registration with their own collecting society — Soundreef does not handle this notification.

🎵 3. Editing Songs Versions
📌 Do you only want to update the recording year?
You can do this directly and independently from the Version itself, without uploading a new one.
🗑 How to Delete a Version
If you have not uploaded the MP3 → You can delete it yourself from the Versions section (hover your cursor in the center of the box and the “Delete” button will appear).
If you need to modify an audio version (e.g., change the MP3 file or ISRC code):
✔ Upload a new version directly from your Soundreef profile.
✔ Inform Soundreef support which version to archive - identifying it with as many details as possible (title, artist, version type, metadata of the respective version).
✔ If the ISRC code is already correct, you will not need to re-upload it to the new Version, we will transfer it directly.
📌 Do you just want to update the recording year?
You can do it directly without uploading a new version.
🗑 How to delete a version?
If you have not uploaded the MP3 → You can delete it yourself from the Versions tab (hover your cursor in the center of the box and the “Delete” button will appear).
If the MP3 has already been uploaded → Contact Soundreef support directly from your Account. We’ll help you!
❓ FAQ
🔹 Does Soundreef notify other collecting societies about registration changes?
No, each collecting society only updates its own records. If your work is shared with rights holders who are not registered with Soundreef, they must also update the registration with their own collecting society.
🔹 Can I delete a registration?
Only if it is a duplicate or if it needs to be canceled. If you simply need to correct information, request a modification by contacting your personalized Support team through your Account.
🔹 I originally registered without a publisher, but now I have one. What should I do?
Notify us about the publishing assignment, and we will update the split sheet.
🔹 I joined a Publishing Administration service (e.g. through a digital distributor). Do I need to update the registration?
Yes, absolutely. Notify us of the change in publishing shares to avoid management conflicts between collecting societies.
