DDEX ERN feed generation and DSP delivery

DSP DELIVERY

DDEX Feeds to Every Major Platform

Every release ships as a DDEX ERN NewReleaseMessage in the version each DSP requires, from ERN 3.8.2 to 4.3.2. Takedowns are handled with PurgeReleaseMessage. Territory-specific release dates, deal terms, and rights holders are preserved exactly as submitted.

DDEX IMPORT

Bring Your Existing DDEX Feeds

Already using DDEX with another provider? Connect your existing feeds to LabelGrid’s S3 endpoint and keep delivering, with no catalog re-ingestion required. Bulk XML uploads run through automated validation, and continuous sync keeps your feed current. Available on API plans.

HOW IT WORKS

Ingest, Validate, Deliver

Configure

Add releases through the dashboard, the REST API, or DDEX import. Metadata, audio, and artwork land in one catalog.

Process

Every release is checked before delivery. DDEX import errors come back inline with XPath references, so fixes take minutes.

Pay

Validated metadata ships as DDEX-compliant feeds to all major DSPs, each in the ERN version that platform expects.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

DDEX (Digital Data Exchange) is the music industry’s standard format for exchanging release information between distributors and DSPs. ERN (Electronic Release Notification) messages describe releases, tracks, deal terms, and rights holders in structured XML that every major platform can ingest.

LabelGrid supports DDEX ERN 3.8.2, 4.3.0, 4.3.1, and 4.3.2. Each DSP receives feeds in the version it requires, configured per platform — you never manage versions yourself.

Yes. DDEX import is available on API plans. Connect your existing feeds to LabelGrid’s S3 endpoint for bulk XML uploads with automated validation and continuous sync — no re-ingestion of your catalog required.

No. The platform and REST API handle DDEX formatting automatically. You submit releases through the dashboard or API, and LabelGrid generates compliant feeds for every DSP.

NewReleaseMessage for release delivery and PurgeReleaseMessage for takedowns. Territory-specific release dates, deal terms, and rights holders are preserved exactly as submitted.

Validation errors are returned inline with XPath references pointing to the exact element that failed, so your team can fix issues without guessing.

DDEX import is an optional capability on API plans (Starter API and above) with its own onboarding process. Contact our team to scope the setup.

Yes. The REST/JSON API is the primary integration path — LabelGrid converts your submissions into DDEX-compliant feeds for DSP delivery. DDEX import exists for partners whose pipelines already produce DDEX.
