ISRC codes are numbers

No, they're 12 character alpha-numeric strings

But where do you get the codes from? In the UK you get them from PPL.

---

As (to be fair) you discuss later on, what PPL give you is a 3-character "registrant code", that identifies your label. They don't actually give you a code for each of your tracks: you assign and keep track of those yourself. (A Excel spreadsheet or similar is handy to keep track of what you've assigned)

The hardest thing is the process of joining PPL

---

They do give you lengthy forms to fill in. Last time a friend of mine attempted to join, it took about 10 months, during which they lost one set of filled in forms, then decided the replacement they'd sent him was an out-of-date edition, and he had to fill in and sign a 3rd set?!
The membership applications have to be "approved" by the "PPL Board", which presumeably takes place around an enormous polished oak table and involves them drinking a glass of port for each applicaton put before them, so inevitably they may pass out or vomit over them before they get through them all.

I found it a bit of a faff, but not this bad! Got approval pretty quickly.
