What is Songview?

Songview is a #public #musicrights #database created by ASCAP and BMI. Can #Songview #reconcile #royalties for the same song in different #organizations through Solab Coda? Yes, Songview uses a #proprietary reconciliation engine to compare, match, and display shared copyright #ownership and split data for songs across major performing rights organizations like #ASCAP and #BMI. How Songview Handles Data and Royalties • Data matching: It ingests ownership data from participating societies to verify that writers, publishers, and share percentages match. • Reconciled Status: When #data matches and shares total 100% (within standard tolerance), the song gets a "Reconciled" status (often shown with a green checkmark). • Unreconciled Status: If metadata, splits, or writer information do not line up between the organizations, it shows as "Unreconciled," which can lead to delayed or misdirected #performance royalties. • Scope limitation: Songview is a data-matching and display platform, meaning it aligns and certifies public ownership records rather than directly paying out or processing the financial disbursement of royalties itself. Each #PRO still distributes payments based on the underlying registered data.
