How to curate your songs in Pro for Labels

Pro for Labels gives you different ways to prepare, review, and improve the lyrics across your catalog.

Depending on your needs, you can use your credits on AI Enrichment, Human Curation, or add lyrics directly in bulk.

AI Enrichment

AI Enrichment helps you process songs automatically by adding:

  • Lyrics transcription

  • Time-sync

  • Lyrics metadata

To use it, select the songs you want to process from your catalog and choose AI Enrichment.

The process runs in the background, so you can continue working while your songs are being enriched.

Songs processed through this flow will show Enriched as their Source.
You will be able to check the status in the Requests tab.
Once AI enrichment is complete, you'll need to confirm the songs before they're distributed to DSPs.

Human Curation

If you'd rather have a song reviewed manually, you can send it to a Musixmatch Specialist. Our specialists review and verify the lyrics before they're distributed across the Musixmatch network.

Human Curation is available on Lyrics and Enterprise plans.

Once completed, songs processed through this flow will show Curated as their Source.

Add lyrics in bulk

If you already have official lyrics for multiple songs, you can upload them in bulk instead of adding them one by one. Use the lyrics-in-bulk feature in the "Add lyrics" section. More info here on how to use the lyrics bulk template.


Understanding Status and Source

In your catalog, Status and Source tell you two different things:

  • Status shows the current availability of the lyrics and time-sync.

  • Source shows where the lyrics came from and how they were verified.​

Which option should I use?

  • Use AI Enrichment to automatically transcribe, sync, and enrich songs at scale.

  • Use Human Curation when you want a Musixmatch Specialist to manually review and verify the lyrics.

  • Use Add lyrics in bulk when you already have official lyrics and want to add them to multiple songs at once.

Please note: pre-releases and already-verified tracks are not included in the AI Enrichment and Human Curation process.
