ASCAP has launched a redesigned version of ACE, its public repertory database. ACE (“ASCAP Clearance Express”) is a searchable database that contains information relating to musical works in the ASCAP repertory of 10 million works, and is updated weekly. It includes title, writer, publisher, performer, and ISWC codes, and it allows music-creator members, publishers, licensees, and the public to easily search, share, and download that information.
“ASCAP is driving changes aimed at building a more efficient, effective, and transparent music industry, no matter what the future looks like,” said Elizabeth Matthews, ASCAP CEO. “The ACE redesign is just the first of many new digital innovations ASCAP has in the works to create the best-quality experience for stakeholders. We are looking forward to rolling out more new ASCAP digital tools for our members and our community.”
