Our “Media Promotion Service” (= MPS) allows registered Radio and TV channels to download your music directly from our servers to use it for their airplay. You can invite local channels to this free media service and promote your tracks to a worldwide audience.

 

As soon as you have activated the Media Promotion Service and finished uploading your product, all our registered media partners have access to it. Whenever one of your tracks is being downloaded, we notify you about media, country, website, data and track via e-mail. Those
e-mails are always sent out automatically on Friday. You also find this information in “Analytics” under the tab “Media Promotion”.

Note: a download does not necessarily mean air play!

 

Activate Media Promotion Service

Go to the tab “Promotion” and check the field “Media Promotion Service” and provide the necessary data:

 

• Airdate: From this date on, media partners are allowed to download and play your music. Important: The Airdate also defines when your release is promoted in our weekly newsletter. The release date on the other hand, defines the date your tracks are available in shops. If you set the release date to 20 May and the Airdate to 1 June, your products will be available in shops from 20 May, but is only published in our newsletter on 1 June.
  
  
• Labelcode (LC-code): A four- or five-digit code for your label, assigned by the GVL (www.gvl.de) in Germany. The labelcode is used to legitimize your products and to account broadcasting royalties for airplay in Germany. For international airplay the ISRC is being used.

 

There are two possibilities in case you don’t have your own labelcode:

 

a) Leave the field blank: you will not receive any broadcasting royalties and your music might not be aired, as some channels only play music with labelcode.

 

b) Use the labelcode of Rebeat Digital: in this case you transfer the GLV rights to Rebeat and will not receive broadcasting royalties for the producer/label. To request our labelcode please write to contact@rebeat.com.

 

Request your own labelcode

If you would like to apply for a labelcode for your label please contact the GVL (www.gvl.de). Note: The MES only accepts labelcodes from the GVL. Labelcodes of other performing rights societies such as the LSG in Austria are not accepted.
