A computer-implemented system providing Web-based royalty processing and reporting is described. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method of the present invention for automatic identification of media items subject to royalty obligations, includes steps of: receiving sales input from a user comprising media items subject to royalty obligations; parsing the sales input to extract for each media item a set of fields characterizing that media item; deriving a plurality of signatures for each media item, based on different combinations of the fields for that media item; comparing the derived signatures for each media item against a database storing signatures of known media items; based on the comparison, automatically identifying media items present in the sales input; and reporting the automatically identified media items to the user.
