JASRAC IDs were added specifically because JASRAC does not always assign ISWCs to works. A number of works in the MusicBrainz database have JASRAC IDs, but do not have ISWCs. Many others did not get ISWCs assigned until weeks or months after the work was initially added to MusicBrainz. -- Calvin Walton <calvin.wal...@kepstin.ca> _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
