Ambler™ · The problem02

Metadata work costs hours
on every release.

Every release generates credits, splits, and rights data that needs to reach the right organisations. Most of it is still managed in spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected portals.

4–5 h

the most frustrating part of the job, according to the label project managers we talk to: data registration

Ambler™ · How it works03

One workflow.
Every stakeholder.
Confirmed at source.

A musician working at a piano in a studio

Ambler replaces the back-and-forth with a structured flow where everyone confirms their own credits.

  1. 01

    Label creates

    Your team starts a registration — track details, initial splits, and an invite to the main artist.

    Draft
  2. 02

    Artist confirms

    The artist reviews the details, confirms their roles and splits, adds contributors, and proposes their shares.

    Sent to Artist
  3. 03

    Contributors accept

    Each contributor sees their proposed roles and splits. They confirm or counter — no chasing, no ambiguity.

    Contributor Input
  4. 04

    Artist does QA

    The artist reviews all responses, verifies that master and publishing splits total 100%, and submits to the label.

    Pending Approval
  5. 05

    Label ships

    Your team does a final review. Three confirmations — release date, external destinations, internal distribution — then ships.

    Ready to Ship
  6. 06

    Data delivered

    Validated metadata flows to PROs, CMOs, publishers, and your distributor or owned release agent. Locked. Audit trail. Done.

    Shipped

Built for labels.
Free for everyone else.

Labels subscribe. Artists and contributors get their own app, and CMOs, PROs, neighbouring-rights societies and publishers receive the clean data — both for free.

For labels

Register once.
Ship everywhere.

Register releases with full recording and work metadata in one workflow. Contributors confirm their own credits. Validated files go to CMOs, PROs, neighbouring-rights societies and publishers, ready to submit — in CWR, DDEX ERN and DDEX RDR-N. Integrates with your distributor.
