ISRC International Agency Bulletin 2008/03
ISRC Encoding/Decoding and CDs, MP3s etc

18 July 2008

The International ISRC Agency announces that it is undertaking a study of technologies for encoding and decoding ISRC in CDs and music files. It intends to publish an up to date list of applications that are able to encode ISRCs (such as would be used in professional mastering studios and by independent artists) and applications that are able decode them (such as might be used by broadcasters or to verify that ISRCs have been correctly encoded). If appropriate it will also provide such guidance on how to use these applications with ISRC.

Submissions from vendors that produce applications which they think should be included on these lists are invited to contact the International ISRC Agency at isrc@ifpi.org.
