SoundExchange Reporting Services

Written by

Creek handles SoundExchange reporting for radio stations around the United States.

This article explains our process, our reporting services, and our pricing.

Reporting

We solve the reporting headache with hands-on help tailored to your station.

  1. We talk to you, and determine what you need for SoundExchange compliance.
  2. We go over emails that you have received from SoundExchange.
  3. We talk about your studio hardware and software, to find the best ways to retrieve the required data to build reports.
  4. We'll set up a system that gathers data and generates reports. This may include setting up a streaming service at Creek that auto-generates reports for you.
  5. When your reports are due, just sign in to Creek Studio to create the reports.

Technical info needed

In order to produce logs, we will need two major sources of data from your studio:

  • An ongoing data stream of song information, often from an automation system.
  • Streaming logs, for listener activity. This usually requires us to host the stream on our streaming platform.
