Adding new recordings
Only recording rightsholder members may register new recordings into the database; performers can only claim on existing recordings. If you are a performer and your recording has not yet been entered into the PPL Repertoire Database, please inform the record company so that you can claim if necessary.
Once you are an approved PPL member you can use your myPPL account to register new repertoire and products or update existing repertoire.
See our guides on how to enter recordings or products into the PPL Repertoire Database.
Register a new recording by logging into your myPPL account and clicking “Register Repertoire”. Select the option to “Register Recording” and fill in the required fields of recording details, contributions, repertoire ownership, rights holders and publishers. You can set up defaults for recording or product details and performer line-ups to quicken the process.
If you wish to register a new release (for example, an album of recorded music), you must first add each individual recording as above and then click on “Register a release”. Complete the required information and add the track listings.
It is the responsibility of the recording rightsholder to submit a full performer line-up with each new recording.
Amending or updating existing recordings
If you would like to amend or update an existing recording in the PPL Repertoire Database (to add some additional information or remove/replace data now known to be incorrect), login to your myPPL account.
Click on “Register Repertoire” then “Manage Repertoire”. This dashboard will then allow you to search for previously registered recordings and releases, by using the search box at the top of the page and using the “Show Recordings: Registered” button.
Once you have found the recording you want to edit you can use the Edit option in the Action menu to the right of the recording.
If you wish to make the same changes to more than one recording you can use the check box to the left to select the recordings and then use the “Edit selected recordings by” drop down menu to edit certain fields in bulk. Please note, not all information can be edited in bulk.
Please note you will only be able to amend recordings you submitted to PPL directly. Amendments will show in the In Progress view until they are processed by PPL. Once processed they will be updated in the Registered view and also in the PPL repertoire database.
See our guides on how to enter recordings or products into the PPL Repertoire Database.
If you are a performer member and wish to add yourself to an existing recording listed on the PPL Repertoire Database, you must make a claim.
