Presentation of the "The Digital Path to Market" report. This was a mapping and capacity-building project promoted by AMAEI within the MusicAIRE program, co-funded by the European Union under the 2020 Annual work program for the implementation of the “Preparatory Action – Music Moves Europe: Boosting European music diversity and talent”. Overall, the project aims at being a fundamental information-gathering and knowledge-spreading initiative within the European digital music ecosystem, providing cornerstone building blocks of key knowledge so as to take the European independent music sector forward in the years to come, with a better approach to metadata, ISRC usage, and other essential best practices. Without a resilient recovery, this data will remain elusive and out of reach to many creators.
