Create Catalogue via DDEX Deliveries ✪

What Is DDEX?

As per DDEX.net - DDEX is a standards setting organisation focused on the creation of digital value chain standards to make the exchange of data and information across the music industry more efficient.

In other words, DDEX is a format used by all distributors and delivery platforms in the music industry to efficiently deliver sound recordings and their metadata to the DSPs (such as Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, ...). Similar to how your catalogue is delivered to these DSPs, you can also deliver the metadata to your Curve client.

What Will the DDEX Delivery Do?

A DDEX delivery will automatically create all of your Tracks and Releases in your Curve catalogue and populate the headline metadata. You will, however, still need to independently attach your Contracts to the Tracks & Releases.

The import routine will overwrite the headline metadata (for Tracks, the mapping will be based on the ISRC; for Releases, it will be based on the Cat No). The import will not overwrite or remove any non-metadata associated with an existing Track or Release such as attached Contracts, Mechanical licenses etc.
