How to Find ISRC Codes on SoundCloud

SoundCloud doesn't prominently display ISRC codes on its platform. Unlike some streaming services, SoundCloud is primarily a direct-upload platform where artists share music without the traditional distribution metadata. However, if you've used SoundCloud's distribution service or a third-party distributor, your ISRC may be associated with your tracks behind the scenes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

If you used SoundCloud for Artists distribution (formerly Repost by SoundCloud), log in to your distribution dashboard.
Navigate to your releases and find the specific release.
Check the release details — ISRC codes assigned during distribution should be listed there.
If you uploaded directly to SoundCloud without distribution, ISRCs are not assigned or displayed.
For tracks distributed to SoundCloud via a third-party distributor, check your distributor's dashboard for the ISRC.

Tips

SoundCloud's main upload feature does not assign or require ISRCs — they're only relevant for distributed content.
If you need an ISRC for a track you only uploaded to SoundCloud, you'll need to obtain one through your national ISRC agency or a distributor.
When distributing from SoundCloud to other platforms, ISRCs will be assigned as part of the distribution process.
