I haven't ranted about the broken silos of the music industry for a while, so here's a new one... 1. Upload recorded song and enter metadata to distributor 2. Wait (1 day) 3. Log back in to distributor to get ISRC assigned to recording 4. Add ISRC to my catalog spreadsheet

5. Register with SoundExchange (using ISRC from above) and re-enter metadata 6. Register composition with PRO (e.g. BMI) and re-enter metadata 7. Wait (3 days) 8. Log back into to PRO to get assigned ISWC identifier 9. Add ISWC to my catalog spreadsheet

10. Register song with The MLC (using ISWC) and re-enter metadata 11. Upload to Bandcamp and any other storefronts not serviced by the distributor and re-enter metadata (with ISRC and ISWC) 12. Wait (for song to be released to streaming)

17. Build dashboard to monitor marketing performance and optimize Once again I'm looking for someone to fix this problem so that I don't have to try to. This should be a 2 step process, max.

(This seemed to resonate with people on other platforms so figured I'd repost here too...)
