RELEASE INTELLIGENCE
Release DNA
Illustrative evidence categories, not measured release diagnostics or accuracy scores. Each recording, product and company role must be assessed separately.
Recording identity
ISRC identifies a recording; it does not prove a distributor.
Product identity
UPC and release identifiers describe a product; editions may differ.
Metadata observations
Label and copyright credits have distinct roles and may share an upstream source.
Distribution signals
A distributor prediction requires source and scope review; independent verification is separate.
KNOWLEDGE BASE
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DistroCheck and release intelligence.
DistroCheck is a music release intelligence platform and distributor finder that analyzes release identifiers, metadata patterns and multi-source distribution signals to estimate the distributor behind a digital music release.
Search the release with DistroCheck and run an analysis. DistroCheck evaluates the available release evidence and returns the most likely distributor together with supporting release intelligence.
DistroCheck evaluates multiple signals associated with a release instead of treating a single metadata field as definitive. The analysis combines identifiers, metadata structures and supported distribution evidence to determine the most likely distributor.
An ISRC identifies a sound recording, but an ISRC by itself does not reliably name the distributor. DistroCheck uses ISRC information to resolve and connect release observations, then evaluates the broader evidence available for distributor analysis.
A UPC can help identify and connect release-level catalog observations, but it is not treated as automatic proof of a distributor. DistroCheck uses UPC information as part of the wider release intelligence process.
Depending on the release and available sources, DistroCheck can evaluate identifiers such as ISRC and UPC, release metadata, catalog relationships and supported distribution signals.
Music metadata can describe labels, rights holders, publishers, platforms and distributors at the same time. Those roles are not interchangeable, so DistroCheck evaluates the evidence as a whole rather than assuming that every company name in release metadata is the distributor.
No. DistroCheck provides analytical release intelligence based on the evidence available to the system. Results should be treated as evidence-based estimates rather than official confirmation from a distributor, label or rights holder.
Release DNA is DistroCheck's release fingerprinting layer. It summarizes patterns across release metadata, catalog behavior and distribution signals to help characterize the digital footprint of a release.
DistroCheck is built for artists, labels, managers, music professionals and researchers who need to investigate release catalogs and understand the distribution signals behind digital music releases.
