Abstract
A recent initiative by the UK Music Producers Guild and the European Broadcasting Union is to utilize the Broadcast Wave (BWF) file format for commercial music releases, allowing the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) to be embedded within the file. At present, unlike with compact disc releases, it is not possible to embed the ISRC in a standard Wave or data compressed file. This paper gives a discussion of the opportunities brought by embedding the ISRC in digital audio files. Examples of BWF metadata are shown along with a discussion of the correct use of ISRCs in music production and audio mastering, as well as a look at relevant requirements of emerging music sales and delivery formats.
