You create or market music. You don’t have the bandwidth to figure out why your royalty statements are coming up short. Exploration works as your back office to clean your metadata, resolve ownership conflicts, and return unclaimed royalties to you from around the world.

Getting a hold of somebody at most companies is like banging your head against a wall. And speaking with them on the telephone? Forget it. Meanwhile, every second that passes could mean fewer royalties. Exploration is never too busy to help you.
