Account Profile, Songwriter, and Rights Owner Settings
Manage identity details, songwriter defaults, rights owner metadata, and ISRC prefix settings for your account.
Account settings collect the personal, songwriter, and rights owner details Songkeeper can reuse across metadata and export workflows. Keep these values current before you generate recording identifiers or prepare release exports.
Quick answer
Profile fields identify you as the account holder. Songwriter settings identify you as a writer. Rights owner settings identify you or your company for master-rights metadata and ISRC generation.
