Royalty · PRS for Music
Report your DJ setlist to PRS for Music
Radio shows, clubs and event organisers report setlists to PRS for Music 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.
PRS for Music 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 PRS for Music online reporting. Done: the royalties for what you actually played reach the right makers, including you.
The export carries the fields PRS for Music'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 PRS for Music?
Broadcasters generally must; clubs and organisers are asked to; individual DJs benefit most when they play their own or affiliated repertoire. Check PRS for Music'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.
