Songdex® is the world's largest independent, relational database of music copyright and business information. It has been developed over the 15 years Music Reports has been in business; as a result it is much deeper and more accurate than newer music copyright databases. The Songdex® database contains detailed relational data about tens of millions of songs and recordings, covering virtually all of the commercially significant music in existence. This database is the common data source used by the company in providing services to its broad and diverse client base. It includes copyright data from tens of thousands of music publishers, records labels, and rights societies, who routinely provide data to the company, so as to facilitate its licensing and royalty reporting activities.
The Music Reports IT staff includes experts in normalizing and conforming the data from these disparate sources, so as to constantly update Songdex® through automated processes. In addition, Music Reports maintains a deep staff of musicologists and copyright researchers who manually update Songdex® to ensure that it contains the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Finally, due to the broad scope of the outreach required by the company's licensing and royalty reporting activities, Songdex® now contains a remarkably extensive directory of music publisher, record label, and society address and contact information. The depth and accuracy of Songdex® ensures that Music Reports clients operate their businesses with the highest degree of integrity possible and with the least amount of risk possible.
