CDS Metadata Feed

Tuned Global provides a metadata delivery feed as part of its Catalogue Delivery Specification.  Tuned Global accepts catalogue feeds from many labels in different formats.  Our ingestion program, Intaga, automatically processes these feeds and normalises the metadata structures. These Tuned Global metadata feeds enable clients to access this normalised structure and receive continuing updates of new products, changed products and takedowns.

You can use the information in these metadata feeds with the Tuned Global Catalogue Delivery APIs detailed here order to access assets.  These assets may be Album Artwork, Audio and Video files as per your license agreement.

The Tuned Global Catalogue Delivery Service provides a JSON formatted feed on a scheduled basis.  Once the initial feed has been provided, updates can be scheduled every hour, day or week - depending on your needs.  These feeds will be made available via an sFTP location that you can access OR an AWS S3 Bucket if you are currently an AWS user.

Note: If your S3 location is being used, these files will not be deleted and you will need to manage any delete policies within your AWS infrastructure.

OnBoarding

The onboarding process will be as follows;

1. The Tuned Global Operations team will connect with you once your service has been approved internally.
2. You will provide either S3 details for Metadata files or you will provide a Public Key for sFTP access.  The team can assist on these items.
3. Tuned will deliver a number of JSON test files as per the specification below.
4. You will import these files and confirm that you were able to complete this successfully with Tuned
5. Tuned will initiate the initial feed, that includes your licensed catalogue content.

Precedence

Manage your Risk

Rights Management

One of the most critical items to manage is the availability of a product, being an Album or a Track. Making a product available prior to its live date or not removing it after an end date is a significant breach of your licensing agreement and should be treated as a high level risk.

As a general overview the logic to manage rights and availability is:

The following provides instructions on when to make a track OR an album available to your audience. Only where there is a tick against all the elements should you make an album or track available.  Please keep in mind that rights to Albums and Tracks are distinct.

The below instructions depend on whether Tuned Global is providing Publishing data or not.

NOTE: REFERENCE TO NOT MAKING AN ALBUM OR TRACK AVAILABLE (LIVE) MEANS, ALL ASPECTS OF AN ALBUM AND OR TRACK. THIS INCLUDES PREVIEWS, ARTWORK, TITLES INCLUDING ALL METADATA.

RULE 1

1. Check if Action (2.22) is a TAKEDOWN
   1. If YES, no further analysis is required, remove the entire album and all its tracks immediately

RULE 2

1. Check Metadata below, depending on your use case
