I sold a few tracks through them. After the sale they sent the payment immidiately,
I love the fact that 909music pays you immediately after sales, so much better than waiting a month or 3 for your money. I wish all libraries would do this. Keep it up 909music.

Made a couple of sales through 909 recently, payment was sent through almost straight away which is a nice touch.
I’d say the uploading process is the easiest and quickest of any library I’ve used.
Sent them a few tracks about a month ago and got my first sale week ago. Gotta upload some more music and see how it goes. After the sale they sent the payment immidiately, fast work.
Is there a way to know if your songs have been approved to be included in the library on the website? As far as I can tell they need to be approved first to show up in the search results?
Uploaded a few tracks a month or two ago and had my first sale today. Got paid immediately via PayPal. Nice personal touch to it; much different from my experience so far w/ AudioJungle.
I probably need to upload a lot more tracks, but am struggling with how to promote myself when I don’t have a huge repertoire yet. Anyone have any tips? Just keep uploading more tracks?
Ok, I’ve been with them now exactly two years – not one sale until April the 3rd and an email notification about it (ok, I have only around 50 tracks there).
Today I received an email with a prompt to tell my PayPal address. They withhold a PayPal fee of $ 1.46 and I received the money two hours later and an email with a friendly question if I could leave a review here.
What’s not so good:
The PayPal fee isn’t really acceptable, because I have to pay again when PayPal takes a lot for the currency translation from dollar to euro; and the currency rate is always in advantage for PayPal.
What’s good:
I really like the site itself, the upload procedure etc. and the friendly contact with them; fast response time on emails.
Serious case of copyright infringement – Please beware!
Dear composers I just noticed there is someone by the name Mr. Jingle who has downloaded my tracks and packaged them as an album and selling the album on iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/album/mr.-jingle/id1093849435?v0=9988%3Fuo%3D4&ign-mpt=uo%3D1
There are two other tracks by other composers. If you are the composers of these tracks please be aware and take legal action against him.
He has also uploaded the tracks to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMgp99zRQ4zW8VsWqI1L97A/videos

Damn. Sorry that’s happened to you and the other composers but much appreciate you sharing that info. That’s some serious nerve there or some serious stupid.

Very sorry to hear this Arnav. I’m working on getting my new law office open, soon. We will assist international clients with IP infringement matters.

Thanks for being proactive Arnav and letting us all know.
Sorry to hear that, and thank you for the warning.
I’m curious though … did he actually buy the tracks from 909? Or these are the ones that can be downloaded for free?
Been with 909 since the start. Only one sale. For those of you who have had decent sales, I’m wondering what’s a good price for a track?
Price them at $39
OK, I thought that might be too high. I’ve priced shorter cues (less than 2 mins) at $19.99
Been with 909 about a month and already made a couple of sales. Love the very quick and easy upload process. Would be great to see an option for including alt mixes in the upload section. Paypal payments were immediately deposited into my account after sales.. I would actually prefer to get paid once a month without fees if that ever becomes an option, but on the whole a positive experience so far! Keep up the good work 909:)
Hey congrats!! 🙂 thanks for being part of 909 Music and expect a healthier stream of sales in the future!
