What is SoundExchange? SoundExchange collects digital performance royalties (non-interactive streaming — Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio, etc.) for Featured Artists and Sound Recording Copyright Owners. Even if you're registered with ASCAP or BMI, you must register separately with SoundExchange to collect these royalties.

Rights & PRO Information
