Songtradr: An Open Marketplace for Sync Licensing
What it is: Songtradr is an open sync-licensing marketplace where music supervisors search a catalog of independent tracks for film, TV, advertising, trailers and games.
Who it’s for: Artists who own their masters and publishing (or can clearly document a split) and want their catalog discoverable by people actively licensing music, without needing a sync agent first.
How it works: You upload tracks with complete metadata — title, writer and composer credits, publisher information, ISRC, PRO affiliation, BPM, key and mood tags. Supervisors search and license directly through the platform; incomplete metadata is the single most common reason a strong track never gets found.
Worth knowing: Clean, complete metadata matters more here than almost anywhere else in the industry. A track with a missing ISRC or an unclear split can sit invisible for months even if it’s exactly what a supervisor is searching for.
