How to register with PPI.

Register with PPI (Phonographic Performance Ireland) and the performer society RAAP to collect neighbouring rights when your master recordings are broadcast or publicly performed in Ireland.

Understand PPI vs RAAP

Irish neighbouring rights are split:

  • PPI = the producer/record company share (master owners)
  • RAAP = the performer share (artists and musicians)

  • A self-releasing artist who owns their masters should register with both — RAAP for the performer share and PPI for the producer share.

    Why this matters

    Registering with only one society leaves the other half of your Irish neighbouring rights uncollected.

    Common mistake

    Registering only as a performer with RAAP and missing the producer share collected by PPI (or vice versa).

    Submit Your Recordings with ISRCs

    Submit each recording with title, ISRC, featured artist, release year, and label so Irish broadcast logs can be matched to your masters and performances.

    Why this matters

    Recordings without ISRCs cannot be matched to Irish radio and TV reports.

    Common mistake

    Omitting ISRCs or performer credits.
