Question 13

What is an ISRC code and does YOON provide one?

An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique identifier assigned to each track for royalty tracking across all streaming platforms. YOON automatically generates and assigns free ISRC codes to every track when you create a release — no separate registration or fee required.

Question 14

What is a UPC code in music distribution?

Accepted Answer

A UPC (Universal Product Code) is a unique 12-digit barcode assigned to each release (single, EP, or album) for identification across stores. YOON provides free UPCs automatically for every release, or artists can supply their own existing UPC if they have one from a previous distributor.

Question 15

Streaming royalties are payments artists receive each time their music is played on a DSP. Spotify pays approximately $0.003–$0.005 per stream, Apple Music around $0.007–$0.01, and YouTube Music about $0.002. YOON passes 100% of these royalties to artists with full per-track, per-country breakdowns in the analytics dashboard.

Question 16

How do I get my music on TikTok?

Accepted Answer

YOON automatically delivers your release to TikTok's commercial music library when you distribute. Once live, your track becomes available for TikTok creators to use in videos, and you earn royalties from those uses. Delivery to TikTok typically completes within 3–7 days of platform approval.

Question 17

What is a smart link for music?

Accepted Answer

A smart link is a single shareable URL that routes fans to their preferred streaming platform (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.) automatically. YOON generates a smart link for every release and tracks clicks and conversions in real time so you can measure exactly how your promotion performs.

Question 18

Can I distribute cover songs through YOON?

Accepted Answer

Yes. YOON offers built-in Cover Song Licensing for $17.99 per cover, which secures the mechanical license required to legally distribute a cover of someone else's song to streaming platforms. The license is processed automatically and remains valid for global distribution.

Question 19

What is publishing administration and does YOON offer it?

Accepted Answer

Publishing administration collects songwriter and publishing royalties (mechanical and performance royalties) that streaming royalties don't cover. YOON offers Publishing Administration as an add-on service that registers your songs globally with collection societies and recovers royalties from radio, public performance, and streaming mechanicals.

Question 20

How do I withdraw my streaming royalties from YOON?
