HeyRoya

For music publishers needing structured metadata management

HeyRoya identifies metadata risks in catalogs delivered to STIM/ICE and other PRO workflows. Work is performed on exported data. No integration. No system changes.

What HeyRoya does

A review of catalog data focused on:

  • ISWC, ISRC, and IPI (per provided data)
  • splits and total sums
  • role codes (C/CA/A, etc.)
  • agreement types (E/SE/AM)
  • duplicates and name variations
  • missing or incomplete fields
  • CWR-blocking structure
  • metadata risks per work

The result is a structured report and a controlled workflow for corrections.

Workflow

1

Data Export

The publisher exports the catalog (CSV, Excel, or CWR) and shares it via secure transfer.

2

Metadata Health Report

Catalog analysis with summary, per-work overview, and identified risks.

3

Cleaning Wizard

Correction suggestions are presented. No changes are made without publisher approval (zero-trust model).

4

CWR-Ready Catalog

Once corrections are confirmed, a CWR file is generated that meets STIM/ICE requirements.

For whom

Publishers

Catalogs with mixed territories and a need for CWR compatibility.

Administrators

Multiple agreement types, foreign creators, and varying metadata quality.

Rights Companies

Larger catalogs with historical data requiring structured cleanup.

Trust and responsibility

  • No access to STIM/ICE/MLC systems
  • No visibility into royalty payouts
  • Work is performed only on exported data
  • All actions require approval
  • Full traceability per work
  • No new ISWCs or IPIs created — only suggestions

Next steps

Start with a Metadata Health Report to see which metadata risks need addressing.
