Key Features:
- Rights Management: Implement a secure and reliable mechanism for managing music rights within the system. This should ensure that artists' intellectual property is protected and that comprehensive records of who has the rights to play specific songs are maintained.

- Royalty Tracking: Enable the tracking of royalties in an efficient and transparent manner. This could involve integrating royalty payment calculations based on playtime, as well as the ability to generate detailed reports on royalty distribution.

- Catalog Management: Develop a feature-rich catalog management system. This should include functionalities for categorizing, updating, and maintaining a diverse library of music.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Extensive experience in developing music distribution systems, particularly those utilizing DDEX standards.
- Strong background in implementing robust rights management and royalty tracking systems.
- Proficiency in database design and management, with a focus on music catalog organization.
- Familiarity with the unique challenges and requirements of the radio industry in relation to music distribution.

Since I do not currently possess a database or system for managing music rights, royalties, and catalog information, the successful candidate will be required to build this system from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration with the DDEX distribution system.
