Catalog Navigation Overview
Labels, artists, managers, publishers, and sync shops have all been busy building DISCO Catalogs and sharing them with the music supervision community.
When you are sent a new Catalog, follow these steps to make sure you can uncover hidden gems and save them to your DISCO.
If you are on a discovery buzz looking for new catalogs, you can access a huge range of world-class rights holders inside your own DISCO.
Sign in to the DISCO Catalog
First things first, do you have approved access to this particular Catalog?
Sign in at the top right corner of the Catalog homepage to confirm:
Use your DISCO login and password if you already have a DISCO account:
When you log in but do not have approval, a request is immediately sent to the Catalog owner:

Create a Free DISCO Catalogs Login
You can create a free DISCO Catalogs account with your email address and a password even if you don't have a DISCO account. When your email is invited or given access to other Catalogs, you’ll be able to reuse the same password.
You do not need a DISCO account to have access to Catalogs.
