    You have a twelve character code in a royalty statement, a delivery spreadsheet or a Content ID claim, and no idea which recording it points at. Paste it below and this tool identifies the track, the artist, the release it came from and the label credited on it.

    Why reverse lookups come up so often

    Royalty statements and analytics exports identify recordings by ISRC because titles are unreliable: the same song appears as a single, an album cut, a remaster and three remixes. That is efficient for machines and useless for humans, so anyone reconciling a statement ends up needing to turn codes back into songs.

    The same problem shows up in sync and distribution work. A library sends a cue sheet keyed by ISRC, a supervisor asks which master a code refers to, or an aggregator flags a duplicate delivery and you need to see what is already live under that code.

    How to enter the code

    ISRCs are often written with hyphens (US-UG1-19-04206) and sometimes with spaces. Paste it in any format, the tool strips the separators and validates the shape before searching. A valid code is two letters, three alphanumeric characters, then seven digits.

    If nothing comes back, the code is either mistyped, or it belongs to a recording that was never distributed to the streaming catalogs this tool reads.

    What you get back

    Track title and version, main artist and credited contributors, the album or single it appeared on, the release date, duration, label, UPC and a 30-second preview so you can confirm by ear that it is the recording you meant.

    Results come from Deezer's public catalog and Apple's public album data, so anything commercially released and distributed to streaming should be found. Unreleased tracks, private uploads and releases that never reached streaming will not appear.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does a reverse ISRC lookup do?+

    It takes an ISRC code and returns the recording it identifies: title, artist, release, label and date, rather than making you search by title and guess which version is right.

    Can I paste an ISRC with hyphens?+

    Yes. Hyphens, spaces and lower case are all accepted. The code is normalised before the search runs.

    The lookup found nothing. Is the code wrong?+

    Usually one character is off, since the registrant block mixes letters and digits. If the code checks out, the recording may simply never have been delivered to streaming, which is common for library music, radio production and private masters.

    Can I find who owns the master from an ISRC?+

    Not directly. The lookup shows the label credited on the release and the copyright line, which is the closest public signal to ownership. Master ownership itself lives in private contracts.
