5 Definition of the Sales/Usage Report structure for this profile

When sales and/or usage data is to be reported using the Radio Broadcast Reporting Profile of the DSR standard, the following Records shall be communicated in this order:

1. One HEAD Record.

2. One or more summary Records of type SY08.03

There is an SY08.03 Record for each broadcast channel which is the subject of the Sales/Usage Report and for each licensor to whom the Sales/Usage Report is sent. These Records provide summary data on usage relevant to the licensor which is, to the best of the licensee’s knowledge, applicable at the time the Sales/Usage Report was created.

3. One or more Blocks that contain the following Records:

(a) One Record of type RE01.03:

This Record provides data describing a Head Release. If the licensee has received a NewReleaseMessage defined in DDEX’s Electronic Release Notification Message Suite, the Head Release for the purposes of a Sales/usage Report created in accordance with this profile is the Album Release as defined in the NewReleaseMessage;

(b) One or more Record of type AS02.04:

Each of these Records provide data describing each sound recording that is contained in the Head Release and basic details of the musical work(s) that are embodied in each such sound recording.

Only a resource (that is a sound recording) that has been used shall be included in the AS02.04 Record in this section of the Block. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Block is describing a Head Release, that has been used, which contains multiple sound recordings, all the sound recordings that embody musical work(s) that are contained in that Head Release need to be included in multiple AS02.04 Record in the Block.

(c) Instead of using an AS02.04 Record the licensee may wish to present the data in two Records. This is acheived as follows:

(i) One or more Record of type AS01.03.

Each of these Records provide data describing each  sound recording contained in the Head Release but without any details about the musical work(s) embodied in that sound recording.

Only a resource (that is sound recording) that has been used shall be included in the AS01.03 Record in this section of the Block.

(ii) None, one or more Records, of type MW01.04.

Each of these Records provide data describing the musical work(s) embodied in the sound recordings (as described in each AS01.03 Record).

If the Block containing an AS01.03 Record followed by MW01.04 Record(s) is describing a Head Release that has been used, which contains multiple sound recordings, all the sound recordings that embody musical work(s) that are contained in that Head Release need to be included in the Block. This is achieved by stringing together multiple AS01.03+MW01.04 pairs of Records.

This is shown in Figure 1, where the musical work Records (MW01.04) are interspersed with the resource Records (AS01.03). The MW01.04 Record immediately following an AS01.03 Record describes the musical work(s) embodied in that sound recording.

MW01.04 Records may not be used in combination with AS02.04 Records;

AS01.03 + MW01.04 and AS02.04 Records may be used together within a single Block. One example would be where the licensee communicates the writers of ten tracks to the licensor but where the eleventh track is a medley created by the licensee comprising multiple musical works.

(d) One or more Records of type SU05.02.

Each of these Records provide data describing usage of the Head Release or the resources described in the Block. Each SU Record shall point to the Head Release or resource to which the usage data relates.

4. One FOOT Record.
