ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) - INI
ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is the unique international standard code for identifying sound recordings. Standardized as ISO 3901, it has been administered by IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) since 1988. The 12-character alphanumeric code consists of four elements: Country Code, Registrant Code, Year of Reference, and Designation Code. Different versions of the same song, such as live versions, remixes, and karaoke versions, each receive different ISRCs. It is used in various aspects of the music industry, including as management IDs for digital distribution services, royalty distribution, and chart aggregation.
