ISRC
The identifier for a specific recording. One mix, one ISRC.
An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) tags a particular sound recording — this mix, this master. A radio edit needs its own. A remaster should get a new one. Your distributor can issue them, or you can get your own prefix and never mix them up again. ISRCs are how royalties, Content ID, and SoundExchange find the recording. Do not reuse them. Do not issue a new one for the same asset just to 'reset the count.'
