Overview

See how Composer Catalog can help you

Advanced Metadata

Composer Catalog allows you to tag advanced metadata to your tracks. Examples include: registration or signing status, key, beats per minute, lyrics, track description, moods, instruments used, TV shows that match the feel, sound-alike bands, exclusivity status (non-exclusive/exclusive), genre, and contributing composers, publishers, or musicians.

Track Management

Composer Catalog helps you keep track of all writers, publishers, and session musicians associated with each track in your catalog. You can save contact information for instant access. If you have contracts or audio files you’d like to attach to a track, you can do that too. Having your audio files readily available will be useful when future modules—such as music pitching—come online.

Search Capability

Composer Catalog allows you to search using any metadata you’ve entered for a track. The more detail you provide, the more refined your searches will be. When a publisher requests tracks that sound like “insert hip band here,” you’ll be able to find results instantly. All search results can be exported to PDF or Excel.

Import Tracks

If you’re upgrading from the Composer Catalog desktop version, the transition is seamless. Simply export your existing database from the desktop app, then drag and drop the exported file directly into your browser. The online platform will automatically recognize the file and import your tracks, metadata, and associated details. For users who prefer working with spreadsheets or are migrating from another system, Composer Catalog supports importing via a properly formatted CSV file.

Easy Track Entry

Composer Catalog Online offers multiple ways to enter new tracks into your library: You can manually input track data, create reusable track templates to minimize repetitive typing, or duplicate an existing track that is already in the system. When duplicating a track, all metadata is copied over—except for the track name and any attached documents or audio files—allowing you to quickly build out your catalog while maintaining flexibility.

Custom Exports

Composer Catalog Online gives you full control over what you export and how. Start by applying filters to narrow down the tracks you want—whether by genre, composer, mood, or any other metadata. Then select the specific fields you’d like to include in your export, such as title, BPM, key, contributors, or licensing status. Finally, choose your preferred format: Excel for spreadsheet editing or CSV for compatibility with other platforms. Your export will be instantly generated, giving you a clean, structured file tailored to your needs.

Organizational Tool

Composer Catalog is a music library organizational tool designed to help composers manage their catalogs.

Finally take control of your catalog!

With Composer Catalog, your tracks will be organized, and you’ll be able to instantly pull up detailed information about any track in your library. You’re no longer limited to basic search criteria like song title, BPM, or genre.

Made by a Composer

Composer Catalog was created for writers, by a writer. As a composer for television and film, I needed a tool to help me manage my growing music library. Spreadsheets just weren’t cutting it. With music placed in thousands of TV shows, I needed all the help I could get—and that’s why I built Composer Catalog.

Is it difficult to upgrade from my desktop version?


Moving from the desktop version to the new online platform is smooth and hassle-free. Simply export your desktop database and drag it into the browser—the online version will automatically set everything up for you. Y
ou can also upload linked audio files and attach documents like contracts and work-for-hires to your tracks.

While the desktop version still works independently, the online version introduces a streamlined workflow and exciting new features. Since the focus will be on the online version, I will no longer have to deal with programming updates for a new Mac or PC operating system. Now that the application is online, you will be seeing faster additions and improvements in the future.
