This industry encompasses a wide range of players. It includes large, well-established record labels that sign and develop artists, as well as smaller, independent labels that often focus on specific genres or niche markets.

Which businesses are not included
It's important to distinguish businesses that create musical recordings from those that distribute them. While the Sound Recording industry includes companies that produce music, businesses primarily focused on selling or streaming music, such as online music stores or streaming platforms, are not part of this industry. Similarly, companies that manufacture musical instruments or audio equipment are considered separate industries. Also excluded are businesses that primarily focus on managing musical artists or organizing live music events, as these fall under the broader category of the music industry.
