So, what's the solution? In this latest #Synchblog we speak to experts Mark Douglas (PPL), Emily White, Milica Smith (amra), and Jamie Dee Hart to learn how we can step up as an industry to better inform creators and change the game for royalty payments. We cover: 🎵 Why metadata is more important than ever before ✅ How new industry initiatives & tools are helping ⏩ Practical next steps to raise awareness Link in bio for the full article 🔗 #musicdata #musicindustry #musicians #songwriters #metadata
