Introduction

The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is the globally recognized standard numbering system for audio and music video recordings. Each ISRC is a unique and permanent identifier for a specific recording. Only one ISRC should be issued to a track, and an ISRC can never represent more than one unique recording.
