How to Fill in Track-Level Information
Each track in your release has its own set of metadata fields. Filling these in accurately is critical for royalty collection, DSP compliance, and discoverability.
Track Title
Enter the full, official title exactly as you want it to appear on streaming platforms.
- Use standard title case: "Love in Lagos" — not "LOVE IN LAGOS"
- Do not include the artist name in the title
- For versions, add them in parentheses: "Love in Lagos (Afrobeats Remix)"
- Do not add featuring artists in the title — use the Featuring Artist field instead
ISRC Code
The International Standard Recording Code uniquely identifies your sound recording. If you already have one for this recording, enter it here. If you leave it blank, InterSpace will assign one automatically.
Never use the same ISRC for different recordings. Each unique recording needs its own ISRC.
Featuring Artists
List any featured artists here — not in the track title. InterSpace formats the display correctly for each platform automatically.
Composers / Songwriters
Add the full legal name of every person who wrote the song. This field is mandatory and affects publishing royalty collection.
Producers
Add all music producers who worked on the track.
Lyricists
Add the person(s) who wrote the lyrics. If the same person is both composer and lyricist, add them to both fields.
Explicit Content
Mark a track as explicit if it contains strong language or adult themes. Mislabelling explicit content can result in rejection.
Language
Select the primary language of the lyrics. For instrumental tracks, select "No linguistic content."
Preview Start Time
Optionally specify the second at which the 30-second platform preview should begin — typically the most engaging part (e.g., the chorus).
