Royalty · Buma/Stemra
Report your DJ setlist to Buma/Stemra
Radio shows, clubs and event organisers report setlists to Buma/Stemra so performance royalties reach the people whose music was actually played. If you play your own productions (or your scene's), a correct setlist claim is money you're otherwise leaving in the general pool.
Buma/Stemra distributes licence fees based on what was reported, not on what was played. No report (or a vague one) means the money is divided by approximation. A complete, accurate tracklist is the difference between your work being paid and being background noise in someone else's statistics.
- 1Paste your set's URL (or upload the recording); ryser.id identifies the full tracklist with timestamps automatically.
- 2Review the list and correct anything the recognition got wrong: one click per track.
- 3Export the royalty report (CSV): order, title, artist, played duration, date and set name: the exact fields setlist forms ask for.
- 4Submit it via MijnBuma / Stemra-portaal. Done: the royalties for what you actually played reach the right makers, including you.
The export carries the fields Buma/Stemra's setlist forms ask for: position, track title, artist, played duration, performance date and set name, with bilingual column headers, ready to upload or copy across.
Do I have to report my sets to Buma/Stemra?
Broadcasters generally must; clubs and organisers are asked to; individual DJs benefit most when they play their own or affiliated repertoire. Check Buma/Stemra's current rules for your exact situation; this page explains the tracklist side, which is the part that costs the most time.
How accurate is the tracklist?
Recognition typically identifies 70–90% of a set with released music automatically; you review and correct the rest before exporting. You stay in control of what gets reported.
What does it cost?
Analysing a set costs 1 credit per minute (120 free credits on sign-up). The royalty report export is part of the Pro plan (€12/month); one correctly claimed setlist typically covers that many times over.
