Delivery Artist Mapping
Each DSP has a way to uniquely identify artists in its system. When delivering music, we can supply Artist Profile IDs for each DSP, so that your artists’ music gets properly mapped to their artist pages. To facilitate that, you must add artist IDs to each artist profile page in Labelcaster. These settings will apply to all products/tracks where the artist is credited. If you don’t find the right ID section, contact our support [email protected] to help you.
Each DSP handles Profile IDs a little differently.
- Amazon: Amazon Music uses the artist’s ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number). This is an alphanumeric code that can be found after ‘artists/' in the Amazon Music artist page URL.
- Apple Music: Apple Music uses the artist’s Apple ID. This is a numeric code that can be found at the end of the Apple Music artist page URL. Do not enter the full artist page URL in this field. How to find your Apple artist ID
- ISNI: The ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier) is used by multiple DSPs to confirm an artist’s identity, including Deezer, TIDAL, and others. You can search the ISNI database to locate the correct ISNI for the artist here
- Meta: Meta (Facebook, Instagram) uses a Meta ID that is neither the artist's Facebook Profile ID or Instagram Handle. Please reach out to Meta for a list of Meta IDs for artists in your catalog.
- Spotify: Spotify uses the artist’s Spotify URI. The format is 'spotify:artist:______' and can be easily converted from the artist page URL. Do not enter the full artist page URL in this field. How to find your Spotify artist ID
- SoundCloud: SoundCloud artist IDs are usually text versions of the artist name. Generally, they follow the main SoundCloud domain in the URL. Examples: https://soundcloud.com/newhormones or https://soundcloud.com/newhormones/sets/the-cynical-duet. Do not enter the full artist page URL in this field. How to find your SoundCloud artist ID
