Do I need to re-register my catalogue with the new form?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

No. Only new works or changes in ownership. Please verify that your catalogue is completely registered via the CMRRA Direct Portal and only register new works. If unsure, CMRRA can generate a catalogue export upon request. Please email [email protected] to submit a request. 

I’m not using standard CWR (Common Works Registration) and have been registering my works using CMRRA Direct. Do I need to start using the “Electronic Song Registration Form”?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

The song registration tool via CMRRA Direct is intended for registering single song priority works. For bulk registrations we highly recommend using the song registration form. 

Can the Excel template be modified?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

The excel template should not be modified in any way. All headers should remain as they appear on the spreadsheet. Any modification could result in a delay of registration.

Do I need to fill out all of the columns in the Electronic Registration form?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

No. Only columns with headers that are highlighted in orange are mandatory. All other columns are optional. However, additional information like songwriter contributors (including IPI numbers), recording artist, and ISRC codes, if available, greatly help matching recordings with registrations.

Where do I find my CMRRA account number?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

The form asks for 11 digit IPI numbers, but mine does not have 11 digits.

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

If your IPI number is not 11 digits, please add leading zeros. For example, If your IPI number is 9 digits please add 2 zeroes to the beginning of the number (Ex. 123456789 becomes 00123456789).

What account do I input into the header details?

Oct 30, 2024 by CMRRA

Please use your main affiliated account in the header. (Publisher name, CMRRA account number, Publisher IPI #) If you do not have one main payee account and administer several individually affiliated CMRRA accounts, you will need to submit separate registration forms for each account.  If any questions please email [email protected].
