The MLC Introduces New Webinar Series to Help Members Turn Data into Dollars

NASHVILLE, TN – The MLC has created a suite of tools that allows its Members to easily manage their song data. Learning how to use these tools effectively is one of the best ways Members can play their part and ensure they receive all their digital audio mechanical royalties for streaming. To help rightsholders learn more about these tools and how to use them, The MLC is hosting a new series of webinars in February and March that will demonstrate how to use these tools to register new songs, claim shares of songs already registered and propose matches of sound recording uses to the songs they have registered. Each webinar will be led by The MLC’s Head of Customer Experience, Lindsey Major.

“The creation of The MLC’s Member Tools is a key part of fulfilling our mission to serve rightsholders,” explains Major. “We have built a set of tools that makes it easy to manage song data so creators can ensure they are collecting all their streaming royalties. This new webinar series offers a look inside the tools needed to make that happen.”

The MLC regularly presents online educational events as part of its mission, offering more than 300 webinars to date. This series of webinars are held at 9 a.m. PT/11 a.m. CT/noon ET and can be accessed for free by signing up at themlc.com/upcoming-webinars-schedule.
