A focused public catalog.
IMF standardizes works, recordings, releases, people, credits, and service links and brings them together in a focused public catalog.
Why IMF exists
Music can disappear.
Not because people stop caring about it.Because control of it can end up somewhere else.
The threat
A lifetime of work can have a single point of failure.
Censorship.
Cancelled.
Removed.
Locked out.
Rights disputed.
Masters lost.
Metadata corrupted.
Simply forgotten.
The reason IMF exists
The musician should remain at the center.
Companies change. Platforms change. Contracts expire. Relationships end. IMF exists to help make the musician’s body of work more durable than the systems surrounding it.
A personalized app under your name.
IMF prepares a personalized phone or tablet app under your performer or organization name.
Music stays where it already lives.
Listeners can discover, save, share, and open recordings on the services that already host them.
The venue may change.The platform may change.The company may change.The music should remain.
That is why IMF exists.
