I have just been informed by the Head of Broadcasting at
Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) in London, in
response to my query, that the format which CD Architect
imposes on ISRC codes is incorrect and DOES NOT conform to
ISO 3901, rendering all ISRCs encoded in this format
INVALID.
The problem is in the last 5 digits (designation code). CD
Architect imposes the early prototype ISRC format, where
the last 5 digits are grouped "XXXX-X". For the last eight
years or so, they should have been grouped "XXXXX".
The correct overall format should be:
"XX-XXX-XX-XXXXX"
Users should be aware of this fact, and hopefully we might
see a swift patch from Sonic Foundry (please!). I have
urgent ISRC requirements, and will have to resort to other
packages to ensure the integrity of the ISRCs unless a
quick patch is forthcoming.....
