What is the UPC/EAN or "barcode"?

Written by Fer Isella

The UPC (Universal Product Code)/EAN (European Article Number) or "barcode" is the code that identifies your release. This code is essential for tracking music sales, maintaining proper cataloging, and ensuring that releases are uniquely identifiable across platforms.

It is mandatory to have a UPC per release if you want to distribute on digital platforms.

In case your release does not have a UPC, we will assign one automatically.

How do you know if your release already has a UPC?

If the content you are uploading has already been distributed in any form, either digitally or physically (such as on a CD), there is a high chance that it already has a UPC assigned to it. In such cases, you can simply enter this code in the designated field.
