I will help register your songs with the mlc for US mechanical royalties
Music Royalties and Song Registration Support
About this Gig
Released music but unsure whether eligible U.S. streaming mechanical royalties are set up correctly?
Missing writer details, unclear splits, or incomplete metadata can cause registration gaps and duplicates.
I help self-administered songwriters and eligible publishers prepare data for The MLC. I check the Public Work Search, organize titles, writers, ownership shares, IPI/CAE details, and available ISWCs/ISRCs, then guide you through the correct Member Hub steps.
PROBLEM: Works may be missing, mismatched, or already administered.
SOLUTION: Get a metadata review and registration checklist suited to your rights status.
ACTION: Choose a package and send the requested information.
IMPORTANT: The MLC handles eligible U.S. digital audio mechanical royaltiesnot every royalty type or territory. If a publisher or administrator controls a work, contact them first; they may already register it. You retain account control and submit sensitive details yourself.
Never share passwords. No royalty or payment guarantees. Administrative assistance, not legal or tax advice.

FAQ
What exactly does The MLC do for songwriters?
The MLC administers eligible U.S. digital audio mechanical royalties from covered streaming and download services. It is different from a PRO such as ASCAP or BMI.
Can I join The MLC if I already have ASCAP or BMI?
Yes, provided you are entitled to collect the relevant mechanical royalties and retain the administration rights. PRO membership and MLC membership serve different purposes.
Can you help if I already have a music publisher?
Yes, but first we must determine who administers the particular songs. Your publisher or administrator may already handle MLC registration. I will help review the situation before proceeding.
Do you need my MLC account password?
No. You retain control of your account. I prepare the relevant information and guide you through the registration steps without requesting confidential login or banking details.
Will registration guarantee that I receive royalties?
No. Registration does not guarantee income, matching, or payment. Eligibility, ownership information, usage, and processing determine whether royalties are payable. The MLC does not charge for its own membership or work registration.
