What is The MLC's Matching Tool?

The Matching Tool in The MLC Portal makes it easy for songwriters, publishers, and other rightsholders to connect their songs with the correct sound recordings used on digital services operating under the blanket license. The tool allows rightsholders to search for recordings and submit match recommendations for their registered songs.

Once submitted, The MLC’s Matching Team reviews each recommendation for accuracy. Approved matches are added to The MLC’s database, helping ensure that rightsholders receive the royalties they’ve earned whenever their songs are streamed or downloaded.
