Digital Sales Reporting Message Suite Standard - Part 3: Basic Audio Profile (Version 1.2) - Digital Sales Reporting Message Suite Standard - Part 3: Basic Audio Profile (Version 1.2) - DDEX Knowledge Base
Created by DDEX Secretariat, last modified on 2018-08-08
This Profile of version 3.0 of the Flat File Variant has been developed in response to concerns regarding the file size and computational complexity of the XML Variant, and will lead to reduced implementation and running cost for Licensees and Licensors for reporting and/or usages of audio-only usages, revenues or sales that are not addressed by any other Profile of version 3.0 of the Flat File Variant. This Profile is also for reporting usages, revenues or sales for music videos and Resources for which no Release information is available.
This standard is Part 3 of a multi-part standard. The other parts (incl. samples) are available here.
Older versions of this standard can be accessed here.
The message defined in this Part provides a mechanism for Licensees (typically Digital Service Providers) to report to Rights Controllers (typically Music Rights Societies, Music Licensing Companies, Music Publishers and/or Record Companies) Usage, Revenue or Sales from the exploitation of Products based on electronic Releases containing Sound Recordings and/or Music Audio-Visual Recordings which embody Musical Works and/or other Resources.
This standard comprises six clauses and two annexes. Clauses 1-4 provide the scope, abbreviations and core definitions used in this standard. Clause 5 then defines the core audio profile.
Version 1.2 of the basic audio Profile makes use of updated SY04, SY05, AS01, AS02, MW01, SU01 and SU02 records that support additional business requirements.
Version 1.1 of the Basic Audio Profile provides a series of minor updates to some record types.
Version 3 of the Flat File Variant of the Digital Sales Reporting Message Suite Standard utilities a fundamentally different architecture than Version 2. This new architecture allows more Profiles to be supported than was possible in Version 2. Part 3 of this standard supports communicating sales and usages for basic audio services.
5 Basic Audio Profile
This Profile is for reporting all audio-only Usage, Revenue or Sales not listed elsewhere in this standard. This Profile is also for reporting Usage, Revenue or Sales for music videos.
To indicate that a Sales/Usage Report is created in accordance with Clauses 5.2 or 5.3 of this Profile standard, the Profile Cell in the HEAD Record shall contain the value BasicAudioProfile and the ProfileVersion Cell shall contain the value 1.2.
The Record Types referenced herein are defined in Part 8 of the standard.
5.2 Definition of Blocks where Release Information is Available
When Usages, Revenues or Sales are to be reported where Release information is available to the Message Sender, the following Records shall be communicated for each Block in this order:
One Release Record of type RE01 describing a Head Release.
If the Message Sender has received a NewReleaseMessage defined in DDEX’s Release Notification Message Suite Standard, the “Head Release” is the “AlbumRelease” as defined in the NewReleaseMessage.
One or more Resource Records describing Resources of type AS01.01 or AS02.02.
These Records provide information regarding all the Sound Recordings, Videos and other Resources that are contained in the Head Release.
While the AS02.02 Record allows the communication of the basic details of a Musical Work that underpins the Resource, the AS01.01 Record does not allow this. Only Resources that have been used or sold shall be included in this section of the Block. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Head Release has been used or sold, all Resources of that Head Release need to be included in the Sales Report Message.
None, one or more Musical Work Records of type MW01.01 describing Musical Works.
These Records provide information regarding all the Musical Works that are utilised in the Head Release and/or one of its Resources. As shown in Figure 5, the Musical Work Records are interspersed with the Resource Records. The Musical Work records immediately following a Resource record describe Works used in that Resource. MW01.01 Records may not be used in combination with AS02.02 Records.
For the avoidance of doubt: AS01.01+MW01.01 and AS02.02 records may be used within a single Block. One example would be where a DSP communicates, the writers of ten tracks as communicated by the licensee to a works licensor or Rights Conroller but where the eleventh track is a medley created by the DSP comprising multiple Musical Works.
None, one or more Records describing “Sub-Releases” of type RE02.
These Sub-Releases are either single-Resource Track Releases (as communicated in a NewReleaseMessage) and/or Releases that the Message Sender has generated exclusively from the Resources and/or Musical Works that are used in the Head Release. The Sub-Release Records shall point to the Resources they make use of. Only Sub-Releases that have been used or sold shall be included in this section of the Block.
One or more Records providing Usage, Revenue or Sales figures of type SU01 or SU02.
The SU01/02 Records shall point to the Release Record to which the Usage, Revenue or Sale transaction relates.
The Blocks shall be preceded by one or more Summary Records SY01.01, SY02.02 or SY04.01 or SY05.02 (depending on the commercial model) for each type of use, commercial model and territory any Release contained in the Sales Report Message has been traded under. It is permissible to communicate different types of Summary Records in a single sales/usage report.
It is recommended to provide the Summary Records in a logical order to aid human readability. This would typically mean that Summary Records of different types are not mixed. For example a sequence of SY01.01 SY01.01 SY04.01 SY02.02 SY02.02 meets this recommendation, whereas SY04.01 SY01.01 SY04.01 does not.
Figure 1 shows a Block providing a Head Release with four Resources, three of which include Musical Work information in the Resource Record, whereas one Resource is augmented by Musical Work information in an MW01.01 Record. Usage, Revenue or Sales are reported for two Sub-Releases as well as for the Head Release.

Note that in the diagram the first SUxx Record provides Usages, Revenues or Sales for a Sub Release, the second Record provides Usages, Revenues or Sales for a Resource and the last Record provides Usages, Revenues or Sales for the Head Release.
The table below provides an overview of the order and cardinality of the Records to be used in this Profile.
SY01.01 or SY02.02 or SY04.01 or SY05.02
Also a combination of the three Summary record types is allowed:
first all SY01.01 Records (if there are any),
then all SY02.02 Records (if there are any),
then all SY04.01/SY05.02 Records (if there are any)

[1] The term Block is used in accordance with Part 1.
[2] The indentation in the diagrams is solely for illustration purposes. There is no indentation in a Sales Report Message in accordance with this standard.
5.3 Definition of Blocks where Release Information is not Available
When Usages, Revenues or Sales are to be reported for Resources for which no information on the Release it is contained in has been previously made available, the following Records shall be communicated for each Block in this order.
One Record of type AS01.01 or AS02.02 describing the Resource including basic information of the underlying Work.
The Message Sender may wish to split the information into two Records. The first Record, of type AS01.01 , contains information regarding the Sound Recording, Video or other Resource, and the second Record, of type MW01.01, contains information about the Musical Work utilised.
The SU01/SU02 Records does not need to point to the Resource Record to which the Usage, Revenue or Sale transaction relates as this is implicit as the Block only contains one Resource Record.
The Blocks shall be preceded by one or more Summary Records SY01.01 , SY02.02 or SY04.01 or SY05.02 (depending on the commercial model) for each type of use, commercial model and territory any Resource contained in the Sales Report Message has been traded under. It is permissible to communicate different types of Summary Records in a single sales/usage report.
The left-hand part of the Figure 2 below shows the case where Musical Work information is provided as part of the Resource Record AS02.01 and the right-hand part shows the case where Musical Work information is provided on an extra Record MW01.01.
