# “Products”
> “Albums, singles, and compilations in your catalog”
## Overview
Products are releases that contain your recordings or compositions — albums, singles, and compilations. They are sourced from streaming platforms and stores (such as Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon, and others) when recordings and compositions are extracted from contracts or added via [Edit Catalog](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/edit-catalog). The Catalog shows all products linked to your project’s recordings and compositions in one place.
| Product type | Description |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Album** | Full album release |
| **Single** | Single or EP release |
| **Compilation** | Compilation or various-artists release |
## Views
The Products list can be displayed in two layouts. Use the **View** button in the top-right of the list to switch between them:
| View | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Table View** (default) | A compact table showing product name, UPC, catalog number(s), artists, release date, and a View button |
| **Card View** | A grid of product cards showing artwork, full metadata, and linked asset counts |
## What You See
For each product the Catalog shows:
* **Title and artwork** — From the store (e.g. Spotify, Deezer)
* **UPC** — Universal Product Code (barcode)
* **Catalog Number (Cat No)** — Physical release catalog number, sourced from Discogs when available
* **Release date** — When the release was issued
* **Copyright** — © (composition) and ℗ (sound recording) lines from the store
* **Linked recordings and compositions** — Counts and links to the underlying assets
* **Your Copyright** — Whether the platform considers this product to be under your copyright (see below)
## Your Copyright vs External Copyright
The platform checks whether a product’s **copyright holder** matches your project so you can tell your own releases from third‑party ones.
### How It Works
When store metadata is linked to your catalog (during contract extraction or when adding assets), the platform:
1. Reads the copyright text (© and ℗) from the release
2. Compares it to your project’s **entity name**, **entity aliases**, and **copyright aliases**
3. Marks the product as **Your Copyright** if there is a match, otherwise **External Copyright**
So “Your Copyright” means: the copyright text on the release is recognised as your entity (or one of your aliases). “External Copyright” means no match was found.
### Managing Copyright Matching
If you operate under several legal or trade names (e.g. label name, holding company, different territories), add them so the platform can match products to **Your Copyright**. The platform compares copyright text to:
* Your project’s **legal entity name**
* **Copyright aliases** (see [General Settings](/projects/settings/general#copyright-aliases))
* **Entity names** (linked entities in your project)
Adding all the names under which you appear as copyright holder improves matching. For example, if Spotify shows “Your Label (UK) Ltd” but your project only has “Your Label”, add “Your Label (UK) Ltd” as a copyright alias.
To add or edit copyright aliases, go to [Project Settings → General](/projects/settings/general) and use the **Copyright Aliases** section there.
## Filters
From the Products list you can filter by:
| Filter | Options |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Product type** | All, Single, Album, Compilation |
| **Artist** | Artists linked to products in your catalog |
| **Copyright** | **Your Copyright** — matched to your entity/aliases; **External Copyright** — not matched |
| **Platform** | Distribution platforms/stores where products appear (e.g. Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon) |
| **Release Year** | Release years of products in your catalog |
Use **Your Copyright** to focus on releases you own or control; use **External Copyright** to review appearances on other parties’ releases (e.g. compilations, licenses). Use **Platform** to narrow results to a specific store, and **Release Year** to focus on a particular release period.
Active filters are counted and shown on the filter button. Click **Clear** inside the filter panel to reset all filters at once. Filter selections are remembered between sessions.
## Product Detail
Open a product to see:
* Full metadata (title, UPC, release date, copyright lines)
* All recordings and compositions linked to this product
* Links through to each recording and composition detail page
## How Products Appear in Your Catalog
Products are not added on their own. They appear when:
1. **Contract extraction** — Recordings/compositions extracted from contracts are enriched with data from streaming platforms and stores; the albums/singles/compilations they appear on become products linked to your catalog.
2. **Edit Catalog** — When you [add recordings or compositions](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/edit-catalog) to a contract, the selected releases are linked as products.
So your product list grows as you add and link recordings and compositions from contracts.
## Store Tabs on Recording and Composition Pages
When viewing a recording or composition detail page, the **Products** tab shows all releases that contain it across stores. Products are grouped by store:
* **All** — A chronological timeline of all products, regardless of store
* **Spotify**, **Deezer**, **iTunes**, **Amazon**, and any other stores where the asset appears
Each product card shows the store label, release date, UPC, artists, and linked tracks with their ISRCs and duration.
