Instructions

The PICA directory: search songs and their rights. Every listed song was put there by the people who own it, with writers, publishers, identifiers (ISWC, ISRC, IPI), how confirmed each credit is, and a way to ask the owner about licensing. No account or sign-in is needed.

Start here:

Know the song or person? chain {q} returns the song, its writers and publishers, its recording and audio profile in one call. lookup_isrc for an ISRC.

Searching by sound (mood, BPM, key, energy)? search_recordings. BPM, key and energy find only songs whose audio has been analysed; a mood search also finds songs whose owner set the mood, marked "mood set by the owner, not analysed".

A person by name: list_people {q}, then lookup_person with the ID.

Full detail on one song (credits with IPIs, confirmations, DSP links): lookup_work.

Want to use a song? send_licensing_enquiry, only after the user says yes and gives their own name, email and project. It is the only way to reach an owner: PICA never shares the owner's email address, so never write the enquiry as an email yourself. Nothing is agreed or priced.

Skills: skill_list shows step-by-step methods (find music for a sync brief, who owns this song, request a licence). skill_get(name) loads one.
