Release Export Readiness for SoundExchange, Panorama, and Artisti - Docs

Each release has an Exports tab with readiness cards and XLSX generators for SoundExchange, Panorama, and Artisti. The cards show missing required and optional fields before you generate the file.

Quick answer

Exports are assembled from the release, its linked songs, its linked recording versions, and each selected recording file. Update the source metadata first, then return to the release Exports tab to generate a new XLSX file.

Where the Data Comes From

Export files are assembled from several levels of Songkeeper data. You do not re-enter release track metadata inside the export modal.

Source	Fields exports use
Release	Title, release artists, UPC/EAN, catalog number, release date, record company, label / imprint, distributor, territories, collection rights dates, and copyright owner nationality.
Song	Song title and composition metadata that appears in public track details and release context.
Recording version	ISRC, version title, master ownership, non-featured performers, recording country, recording date, track label, duration, and artist data attached to the recording.
Recording file	The exact audio file selected for the release track, including extracted duration and file metadata.

Keep source data up to date

Since exports pull directly from your songs and recordings, updating a songwriter's name on the song or changing master ownership on the recording version will automatically be reflected the next time you export. You don't need to update the release itself.

SoundExchange Export

Generates an Excel file matching SoundExchange's official ISRC Ingest Form. The export modal asks for your basis of claim, collection rights dates, and non-US territories. The United States is included by default.

Readiness checks

Scope	Required	Optional
Release	Release title, release artist, UPC, release label, and at least one track.	Countries of first release and copyright owner nationality.
Track	Track artist and ISRC.	None in the readiness card.

Derived fields

Recording Artist uses primary artists on the recording track and falls back to release artists when needed.
Percentage Claimed uses the first master owner's royalty percentage and defaults to 100% when no master ownership is set.
Release Label uses release Label / Imprint, then the primary master owner. See Record Company vs Label / Imprint.
P-Line is release year plus track-level label, then release Label / Imprint, then primary master owner.
Version is omitted when the recording version title is “Original” or “Original Version”.

Panorama Export

Generates a Panorama (Soproq) declaration form for sound recording neighbouring rights registration. The export modal asks for the rights holder name, rights holder percentage, and whether the territory corresponds with the Panorama member contract.

Readiness checks

Scope	Required	Optional
Release	Product title, product artist, distributor, UPC/EAN, release date, and at least one track.	Record company, product artist nationality, label, and catalogue number.
Track	Title, track artist, ISRC, duration, country of fixation, year of fixation, first maker, and first maker nationality.	Track artist nationality.

Export behavior

Record Company exports as “Independent” when blank.
First Maker lists master owners separated by slashes, with their nationalities.
Countries and nationalities are converted to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes where the export expects country codes.

Artisti Export

Generates an XLSX file matching Artisti's repertoire registration form for Canadian neighbouring rights registration. The export modal asks for the repertoire category: Musical, Dramatic, or Literary.

Readiness checks

Scope	Required	Optional
Release	Release title, at least one track, and no more than 20 tracks.	UPC.
Track	ISRC and duration.	Performer information, when neither track artists nor non-featured performers are present.

Artisti track limit

Artisti's form supports up to 20 tracks. The export tab warns when a release has more than 20 tracks, and tracks beyond that limit are not included in the generated XLSX.

Submission tracking

Each readiness card has a Submitted switch. Use it to track whether you have submitted the generated file for that service. The switch records submission state for the release; it does not submit the file for you.

Record Company vs Label / Imprint explains label fallback behavior in generated exports.
Publishing and API visibility explains release status and release date gating.
Recording metadata explains ISRCs, master ownership, performers, and recording details.
