# International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) (`isrc`)

ISO 3901 code of one sound recording or music video recording, not of the composition (iswc): every recording, edit and remix of a song gets its own ISRC. It has 12 characters: a two-letter country code, a three-character registrant code, the last two digits of the reference year and a five-digit designation code. It is often printed with hyphens between the parts, after the word ISRC. There is no check digit.
