Description

The YouTube source, "What is an IPI (CAE) number and how to find it at ASCAP and BMI?" from "The Modern Musician" channel, explains the IPI (Interested Parties Information) number as a crucial eleven-digit international identifier for songwriters and publishers. This number, formerly known as CAE (Composer, Author, and Publisher), is administered by SUISA in accordance with CISAC guidelines and is essential for royalty payments. The video also provides practical instructions on how to locate an IPI number for a PRO member using the online search tools of ASCAP and BMI.
