Know where your money is.
Three free tools for the business half of music: check the codes your money travels on, find out who pays you for what, and learn to spot a bad deal before you sign one. Nothing you type here is saved or sent anywhere.
Is this code right?
An ISRC, ISWC, barcode or IPI with one character wrong is a royalty that never finds you. Paste one in: we check its shape, and its check digit where it has one.
Keeping every song's codes, registrations and splits in one place is what the Catalogue tool does. More on all four codes: the boring details that decide whether you get paid.
Who pays you for this?
Seven situations, in the US. For each, tick everybody who pays. One song can earn from three places at once, and each one has to be set up separately.
Spot the red flag
Eight clauses, invented but typical. Is each one fine, worth reading twice, or a reason to walk away? This is how we would read them: it is not legal advice.

The handbook
Nine chapters on the money: streams, registrations, contracts, sync, and what you are sold that is free somewhere else.
