Frequently Asked Questions

How does Songtrust ensure I receive royalties from all sources globally?
Songtrust maintains relationships with over 200 collecting societies, PROs, and mechanical licensing agencies worldwide. Upon registration, your songs are automatically submitted to eligible organizations in each territory, ensuring coverage across all major markets and revenue streams.
Can I use Songtrust if I already have a publisher?
Songtrust works with existing publishing arrangements. If you own your publishing rights, Songtrust administers collection. If you have a co-publishing deal, Songtrust can administer your share. Consult with your publisher regarding integration details.
How long does it take to receive royalty payments?
Payment timelines vary by source, typically ranging from 6-18 months depending on the collecting society or platform. Songtrust provides dashboard visibility into expected payment dates and automatically deposits funds when received from each source.
What metadata information do I need to provide for song registration?
You'll need song title, writers, composers, ISWC codes (if available), and recording details. Songtrust's dashboard guides you through required fields for each territory, and the platform supports bulk uploads for managing large catalogs efficiently.
How does AiDOOS enhance Songtrust deployment?
AiDOOS enables scale deployment of Songtrust across your organization, streamlines royalty administration workflows, integrates with your existing music business systems, and provides governance frameworks for managing publishing rights across multiple catalogs and territories.
Does Songtrust handle synchronization rights licensing?
Songtrust administers sync royalty collection but does not license tracks for synchronization. For licensing your music for film, TV, or commercials, you'll use separate sync licensing platforms while Songtrust collects the resulting royalties.
