10 steps to easily declare your recordings

November 6 2018

Specifying your repertoire, the PlayRigh playlist, the online portal—for many, this may sound rather complicated and unfamiliar.

However, it is important that you take the time to register your recordings online, because they entitle you to rights (and therefore money)!

To make it easy for you, we have listed the most important points below:

1. Register via the PlayRight Portal button. Log in with your email address and password.

2. Select the type of recording of your artistic performance

  • Music: classical or non-classical recording
  • Audiovisual (non-musical artistic performance as an actor in audiovisual recordings)
  • Dubbing and post-synchronisation (voice recording, voice-over, etc.)
  • Music in audiovisual (artistic performance as a musician in audiovisual recordings)

3. Click on “Add declaration”.

A form will open and you can add all the information.

4. Validate your declaration

Once you have entered the information, click on ‘Save’ to confirm your declaration. This will be added to your repertoire.

@Musicians: if you want to submit the entire album, you can fill in all the requested information on the form once, then click on ‘Save and copy’: this option allows you to copy and paste the information you have entered, so you don’t have to do it again for all the songs on the same album. The only field you still need to fill in with this option is the title. Once all titles have been entered, click on ‘Validate’.

5. Want to indicate contributions in your portal?

Don’t forget to check your online portal to see if you have any contributions to declare. These are recordings that PlayRight has added to your repertoire based on research, but which you have not yet declared. It is important that you declare these contributions yourself before the deadline.

6. Use the PlayRight playlist to indicate your music recordings.

Every year, PlayRight sets a deadline for you to submit your repertoire. Once you have declared your repertoire, we identify your performances on playlists in Belgium and abroad. This enables us to collect, process and distribute the royalties to which you are entitled.

7. Respect the deadlines!

Every year, PlayRight sets a deadline for you to submit your repertoire. Once you have submitted your repertoire, we identify your performances on playlists in Belgium and abroad. This allows us to collect, process and distribute the royalties you are entitled to.

Until 31/12/2025, you can declare the following performances:

8. No declaration = no rights.

For the final distributions to be made next year, PlayRight will only take into account declarations submitted before the deadline (31 December 2025). If you declare your recordings after this date, they will not generate any rights for the reference years to be distributed next year.

However, this does not mean that they will not generate rights for subsequent reference years that have not yet been closed. It therefore remains important to always declare your recordings via the PlayRight Portal.

9. Keep an eye on our distribution calendar.

You can easily consult the distribution calendar for each reference year via the homepage of our website. This way, you know when the distributions will take place and you can submit your repertoire on time.

10. Contact your account manager for assistance.

Still have doubts or questions? You can always contact your account manager. You can find out who your account manager is and their contact details in your online file.

Please note that the PlayRight offices will be closed from 21 December 2025 to 1 January 2026.
