Music rights data and asset management platform <\/span>rightsHub<\/span><\/a> has unveiled its latest feature for labels and publishers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Available to all rightsHub clients, rightsDrop will enable labels and publishers to create and issue fully customisable templates for artists, writers and managers to submit metadata and assets for new releases. It cuts out needless repetition and simplifies communications.<\/span><\/p>\n With the addition of rightsDrop, rightsHub now provides an end-to-end solution for rights-holders to manage the flow of rights data and assets from collection to delivery. It maintains a single point of data entry and provides a central location for storing releases, assets and contract <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>, which enables clients to save time, cut down on manual errors and facilitate remote collaboration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Oscar Tremain, rightsHub VP of product & client relations, said: “rightsHub exists to make the lives of rights-holders as easy as possible. As part of this, we always take the time to ask our labels and publishers what remains a headache or roadblock within their operations. Time and time again we received the feedback that their teams are bogged down with chasing up artists and managers for pieces of data and content files across multiple channels, with no set process between all parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201crightsDrop finally addresses a common industry-wide issue and not only gives full control back to the rights-holders to ensure clean, consistent data flows for new releases, tracks and works, but also provides artists, writers and managers with a clear-cut and simplified way of submitting their music and data.”<\/span><\/p>\n Will Dowler, production manager at <\/span>Defected Records<\/span><\/a>, added: \u201cOne of the biggest issues we face is the gathering of data and assets from artists, managers and writers, slowing down release activity and registrations\u2026\u00a0 We explained the issue to rightsHub and they have built a solution that\u2019s going to massively help with this, rightsHub and now rightsDrop really is going to make our whole business process so much easier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n We were looking for a solution that could help us in giving the new business infrastructure and would help us scale<\/p>\n
