DPID (DDEX) Setup

Service Description

The DDEX Party Identifier (DPID) is a unique global identifier issued by the Digital Data Exchange (DDEX) organization. It plays a critical role in the exchange of standardized music metadata between distributors, publishers, labels, rights societies, and DSPs. If you're a rights administrator, music publisher, label, or distributor that sends or receives DDEX-compliant messages—such as royalty statements or catalog submissions—having a registered DPID ensures you are properly recognized and your data flows accurately across global systems. Our DPID (DDEX) Setup service simplifies this technical process by helping you apply for and implement your DPID as part of a future-ready metadata strategy. Service Options: 🔹 DPID Application Only We assist you with the formal application to DDEX to request your unique Party Identifier. This includes helping you understand the purpose and structure of the DPID, preparing the required company or entity details, and submitting the application through the DDEX website. Once issued, we verify that the code is registered correctly and walk you through how to cite and use it in your data systems. 🔹 Metadata & Delivery Strategy For businesses that plan to integrate their DPID into a full metadata pipeline, this option includes strategic guidance for implementing DDEX standards across your catalog workflows. We help you plan how to embed DPID identifiers in your XML messages, spreadsheet submissions, or third-party platform uploads. This is especially useful for companies working with The MLC, Music Reports, DSPs, or backend platforms like Vistex, Exactuals, or FUGA. By securing and integrating your DPID, you establish your organization as a professional, standards-compliant participant in the digital music ecosystem. It improves data clarity, prevents attribution errors, and helps future-proof your royalty and licensing operations. Let us help you get set up the right way—from application to activation.
