When you're looking to promote your music, you want to make sure you have all the things you need to make the process as seamless as possible. SongCast takes care to step in and help out along the way. So, if your album does not already have a UPC Barcode, one will be generated for you at no charge. If you're wondering why you might need a Barcode, the biggest reason is because a UPC Barcode is used to track your album and music sales throughout the world. Do you want to see how your music is performing globally? Then a barcode is a must!

We also recommend registering your album and UPC Barcode with Nielsen SoundScan. This company is a leader in tracking music sales throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. If you're interested in staying ahead of consumer demand, then registering with Nielsen SoundScan is a must because they provide valuable data regarding audience measurement, advertising effectiveness, and overall marketing performance.

SongCast provides you with the tools you need to promote your music successfully to a global audience. Aside from the benefits of a UPC Barcode and registering with Nielsen SoundScan, we are also able to distribute your music to international music retailers like iTunes UK, Amazon Germany, and many more. By doing this, we'll be able to help you expand your audience in such a way that you'll be reaching more listeners, gaining more fans, and earning more royalties - 100% of which you get to keep! What more could you ask for?
