Becoming a Member of The MLC is how you Connect to Collect. Anyone entitled to collect digital audio mechanical royalties in the U.S. needs to become a Member of The MLC. This includes self-administered songwriters, composers, and lyricists, as well as music publishers, publishing administrators, and international collective management organizations (CMOs). Members of The MLC can access the Member Hub within The MLC Portal to register new musical works, review and update their existing musical works data, and suggest matches of sound recording uses to their musical works. For more details on who should become a Member, visit our Membership page here.
