Cost of Manual Work — Music Industry

See what repetitive manual work is costing Music Industry teams each year — where royalty calculation runs on legacy mainframe systems plus an army of analysts reconciling per-stream micro-payments across 200+ DSPs in 180 markets — quarterly statements ship months late and full of disputes.

What this means for Music Industry

  • Royalty calculation runs on legacy mainframe systems plus an army of analysts reconciling per-stream micro-payments across 200+ DSPs in 180 markets — quarterly statements ship months late and full of disputes.
  • Rights management is fragmented across master rights, publishing, sync, and neighboring rights — a single song's rights holders can sit in eight different databases and a sync request takes two weeks just to clear ownership.
  • Streaming data is firehose-volume but underutilized — labels see the dashboard, A&R reads the top-line, and the actual segment-level signal that should drive marketing and tour routing dies in a BI tool nobody uses.

Where it pays to act

  • Royalty calculation and reconciliation automation — AI-assisted matching of usage data across DSPs, identification of unmatched and underpaid plays, and dispute documentation that recovers material revenue annually.
  • Rights and metadata cleanup — large-scale AI-driven matching across master, publishing, and neighboring-rights databases to consolidate ownership records and fix the splits that block payments.
