Optional Fields — Strongly Recommended #
While these fields are not required, filling them in significantly improves your ability to search and filter your catalog. The more detail you provide, the better your search results will be.

| Band / Artist References (Sound-Alikes) | Artists or bands that your track sounds similar to, separated by commas. This is one of the most important search fields — music supervisors frequently search by sound-alike artists when fulfilling briefs. |

Once you have filled in the fields you want to include, click Save to save this section. You will see a confirmation that the section saved successfully. You can then continue to the next section.
Note: Consistency is critical for the Key field. If you sometimes type “minor” and other times “min” the search will treat them as different values. Decide on a format and use it throughout your entire catalog.
Tip: Sound-alike artist and TV show references are extremely valuable. Music supervisors frequently search by sound-alikes when fulfilling briefs. Do not skip these fields.
