Welcome to MPN support. How can we help?
ARD Archive
The ARD Archive is the actual archiving system of your products for the purpose of future research via public radio broadcasters. As opposed to the 90 day promotion period, ARD editors have access to the tracks beyond the 90 day period.
Association membership
Members of the BVMI (Bundesverband Musikindustrie e.V.) and the VUT (Verband unabhängiger Musikunternehmen e.V.) are obliged to put their products in the ARD Archive. For this obligation a remuneration of 2.80 Euros is paid per track from the field of popular music (so-called “U-Musik”). The delivery note is written by PHONONET, payment goes through ARD:
all other labels are free to place their products voluntarily but will therefore not receive any remuneration.
