What should I know about UPC and ISRC numbers?

TuneCore: FAQ
A UPC ("Universal Product Code") number is nothing more than a group of numbers that are exclusively associated with your album, EP or single. That's it. A BARCODE is a way for a machine to read the UPC numbers. The UPC numbers appear in graphic form as vertical lines: the lines represent the numbers of your UPC in a way that can be scanned and understand by a computer. A UPC/Bar Code allows physical stores to order your CDs easily.

UPC Bar Code - Get you own unique valid UPC code - barcode, ...
Universal Product Codes appear as lines (bars) of varying widths representing the series of numbers commonly shown below the bars. Barcode scanners, as you will know them from your favorite retailers, read the bars and convert them back to the 12-digit UPC number that they represent. This number is then looked up within the retailer's inventory system to find the corresponding product name and price that you provided them with when you signed your agreement for them to carry your product .

What would make an artist ineligible for Soundscan?

Powered by Stretch The Skies™
Basically, you need to have a barcode. If you don't have a barcode, we can provide you one. We then list that barcode with SoundScan. If your product is already barcoded we check to see if it is listed with SoundScan, and if it is not we will list it. Beyond the requirement of a barcode, if an artist is found cheating on sales reports, that would make the artist ineligible for further SoundScan reporting. Especially through STS!

Well, I'm not sure how to prove this to you. We have hundreds of letters and e-mails of people calling us "lifesavers", "saints", and "blessed". Usually people finally come to us after they have spent a hundred dollars or more on other products...they are desperate for ANYTHING that will work. They order from us finally, out of desperation and then write saying how they wished they had ordered from us FIRST. The way it is made and applied: It has no choice but to work.
