One of the best ‘royalty free’ websites out there – sales are higher than any others I’ve worked with, and they pay every month.
[Reply]
the contact us section , which you can go to via one of the ceo’s link, doesnt allow you to email them regards composer submissions, unless you pick one of the other inappropriate cateogires, which is odd.
[Reply]
For me this is a good solid library to work with. Sales are pretty consistent and it’s completely non-excl. They’ve started working with smartsound and if you get tracks in there (you can’t submit, they’re hand picked) it seems pretty good even though it’s early days.

No PRO reporting required. Might be something to consider.

Vince, read the comments on the same owner’s site PartnersinRhyme.com regarding why this is a non-issue.

Hi Art-
Can you please change the Exclusivity part of the ML description to read “Non-Exclusive”?
Like all of our websites we only work non-exclusively with our composers.
We also do have a vocal music category on musicloops.com but we do not actively seek vocal music (unless they are non-specific vocals) as they do not sell well at all.
We also do not re-title the composer’s tracks.
Composer’s set their own price.
Contract length is as long as the composer wants to distribute through us. They can delete any or all tracks whenever they like.
License fee is 50/50 on the main site and 70/30 on the composer’s personal musicloops.com site. That means the composer would receive 70% of any sales that are generated from traffic that the composer himself is sending to the site.
Thanks,
Mark Lewis
CEO Musicloops.com

I only joined a couple of weeks ago, but sales are very regular compared to other libraries. The revenue split is fair and consistent monthly payments are good news. Uploading is easy, and account management is basic, but adequate. The only downside so far is the low average track pricing, but frequency of sales more than make up for this. There’s nothing stopping you charging as much as you want, however. The CEO(Mark) is extremely quick in answering queries and sorting problems out, so overall, I’m rating the site 8/10

Dean, December 2nd, 2009 at 12:18 am Reply:
I’m not so sure the pricing is that low (for the royalty-free world)… depends on the length. A lot of the composers are charging more than $35 for a 2 minute track.
[Reply]
Mark, December 2nd, 2009 at 9:04 am Reply:
Our composers price their own tracks, they price them wherever they want.
However if they price them at $500 a track then they don’t get approved into the main site (still available on their personal musicloops sites though).
Our composers are pricing fairly high compared to many other sites where I see full length tracks going for $1 or $2.
The important thing is that they are getting sales at the prices they are setting.
We are currently selling between 40 and 70 tracks a day on musicloops.com.

I sent an E-mail requesting permission to submit a song for starters and received a reply from Mark stating that they do not accept vocals. Just thought you would want to revise the “truth table” so other songwriters won’t be wasting time. This is an impressive looking organization and I’m disappointed that we could not work together. I’m not into instrumentals but realize that most libraries are much heavier on that side of the “ledger.”
B-T-W… I really appreciate the MusicLibraryReport and how you continue to refine and improve it. I found out about you guys from a post at “Just Plain Folks”… Brian Austin Whitney’s free website for songwriters and other music associated individuals. Keep up the good work.

Hi Dave-
We have tried vocal material in the past but it really does not sell well in our type of catalog. Our clients are mostly looking for background music. Vocal music tends to be used for theme songs, etc. more up front type uses. This involves a different type of licensing that we really don’t want to get into.
There are plenty of other sites that do this though.
A suggestion:
We just signed a Nine Inch Nails type composer/singer who does mostly vocal music but also makes instrumental mixes of all of his tracks as well. He is only uploading his instrumental mixes now.
This is a *really* smart thing to do and a good way to make extra income from an existing library of songs w/vocals.

Just wanted to say Mark at musicloops.com runs a great company but it wasn’t right for me.
I had some cues up there, with a few sales, but decided to take them down. This was mainly because I have a lot of music on air and musicloops does not require that their customers file cue sheets. I felt that I might impact future PRO income by keeping my music on Musicloops. In fact recently someone who had heard one of my cues at Musicloops contacted me directly because it was no longer available. It turns out it was to be used for a TV show. That meant they would have been able to purchase it and there was a chance I would not see any performance royalties for that usage.
That being said: If the PRO issue is not a problem for you, it’s a well run company, pays quickly and Mark is very accessible.

Matt, December 21st, 2009 at 3:29 am Reply:
Hi Art,
I think your concerns are valid, but I don’t think you’d lose much PRO income by having your music sold on ML (or any other royalty free site that doesn’t require reporting to PROs). I know from experience, that any serious TV show or film (basically any production that will make you more than a few dollars in PRO royalties) is REQUIRED to produce cue sheets to the broadcaster as part of the ‘deliverables’. The broadcasters (film distributors or TV networks) want to make sure that all the music is cleared and that the cue sheets are filled out accurately (to avoid any admin or legal issues in the future).
The production companies will either ask the owners of the royalty free site for the writers and publishing info, and if they can’t get it, it’s more than likely that they’ll replace it with something they know they can get the info for.
I try to ‘diversify’ myself by putting as many tracks as possible in companies that are aggressive in going after performance royalties, while at the same time selling tracks on royalty-free sites like ML, and license fee based libraries. The three business models are pretty much separate of one another, and because of that, I’m not that concerned about the very occasional overlap where something might generate a royalty free sale and performance royalties.
Just my $0.02 worth… you’re right to be careful though!
[Reply]
Mark, December 21st, 2009 at 11:59 am Reply:
Well said Matt and my feelings exactly.
Also, just to be clear, it is not like we keep the PRO info of our composers a secret at ML. If the client requests the info for their cue sheet we of course give it to them, if available, (the majority of our composers do not belong to a PRO, we only accept PRO affiliated composers because they request to be included in our library, as Art did).
And Art, if you had never been on ML you would never have had that client that I referred directly to you after you requested your catalog be removed (and you’re welcome for the free referral by the way).
But to each his own on how they want to sell their music. We certainly have no shortage of great composers uploading music into our catalog everyday.

Art, December 21st, 2009 at 5:17 pm Reply:
Hi Mark,
I understand that client would not have existed without ML, that was not my point. The point was that he may have not felt compelled to report the usage. If music started showing up in my Tunesat account as being used but not reported and originated from ML, I would not be a happy camper. In any event there are many options for all of us!

Art, December 21st, 2009 at 4:59 pm Reply:
Thanks for the feedback Matt and you are probably right. My lack of experience in this area may have led me to be premature. I was concerned from the outset, though, as Mark pointed out to me in one of of our first e-mails:
“We do not require our clients to report the use of the music we distribute to performing rights agencies (an important point to consider).”
When I mentioned to Mark that I have a Tunesat account (which tracks my music being aired) he was not comfortable with the fact that I might follow up if I found music being used but not reported. I put my concerns aside as Mark’s company has always gotten high marks (pun intended!) but it did continue to bother me. All the other sites I have been working with do require their customers to report and file cue sheets. I’m not faulting Mark at all, it was my bad, I should have stopped at the outset. Lesson learned!

Hi Michael-
Apologies, I am a bit behind in my new composer reviews.
We are having some growing pains and we are moving to some new servers this month which is taking up a lot of time. Plus our programmers are putting the final touches and bug fixes on our new music upload system (which seems to be working pretty well now) and I wanted to wait on composer reviews until the improved upload system was stable.
I will start going through the list of submissions today.
I looked for your name but could not find it on my list though. If you don’t mind can you please resend your submission?

Just a quick note about new composer submission quidelines for musicloops.com:
We only accept composers with a catalog of 30 tracks or more.
We would rather the composer be a working composer that will be regularly uploading new material.
Please send us an easy way to listen to your music (sending us to another royalty free music site to hear your music is ok but not in very good form)
Hearing your music is much more important than reading a resume of awards and past projects.
We do not do work for hire on spec (In other words we have no house composers that we ask to work on projects for us).
We are getting a flood of submissions recently (many directly because of the wonderful resource that Art has built here on MLR) but I promise to review and reply to each one.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks to our new easy to use upload system and the huge amount of great composers that have been accepted into our library recently I am now about 500 tracks behind in my musicloops.com approvals… but working my way through them.
Thanks to Art and MLR the quality of composer submissions has increased 10 fold recently.
We’ve signed 11 new artists in one week. We usually don’t accept that many in 6 months.
Keep up the great work Art.

We uploaded five tracks for approval to be included as a composer using Music Xray.
We found the process deeply confusing and user unfriendly. we can only hope that we did it right! If we didn’t can you let us know please Mark.

The lack of any sort of common sense or consistency from music libraries is astonishing.
having been told:
“This is great ambient track and would probably sell well on our websites. I need to hear more though. We need at least 30 tracks to accept a composer. Do you have more?”
3 days later we are told:
“Thank you for your submission, all of the samples sound good but this is not the style of music that we are looking to add to our catalog at the moment.”
How does this even make sense? Why waste our time like this?

It seems many libraries today want a minimum 10,20,30 tracks. What’s wrong with one great track.
I recently sent a track to a library and they told me it was great – “please send us a CD of tracks”.
Quantity seems to be more important than quality.
It’s odd because out of several libraries that have my work, most only sell 2-3 tracks out of every 20-30 tracks I send them. The rest gather dust on their shelves. So signing a couple great tracks would make more sense than signing 30.

Mark, May 19th, 2010 at 4:29 am Reply:
I can’t speak for other libraries but we made the decision when our catalog hit around 9,000 tracks. We found that artists who only upload one or two tracks quickly get lost in the catalog and search algo and never make a sale again.
Our library is geared more for the working composer who is consistently creating new music and adding that music to our catalog.
Composers who do this on our site do very well, the composers who have less than 10 tracks in our catalog don’t do well at all.

John (the other John), May 19th, 2010 at 5:06 am Reply:
Wouldn’t it be better to have 2,000 top-of-the-line tracks than a hodgepodge of 9,000? I can imagine some clients not enjoying listening through so many tracks.
And don’t tell me all 9,000 are top-of-the-line. Oh well, go ahead – its business as usual.
Anyway, if you receive a couple cream-of-the-crop, knock-me-dead tracks, wouldn’t it be your job to promote these and not let them get lost in the shuffle. You shouldn’t have more tracks than you can keep track of.

We do go through every track and do not have a ‘hodge-podge’ of music. We are very selective about who we let in and even then each track submitted goes through an approval process.
Thank you for your advice but our customers and our composers seem to be very happy with how we are currently running things.

Matt, May 19th, 2010 at 3:04 pm Reply:
Depends on the type of library I would think. A license fee based library would do well to have just 1 or 2 amazing tracks from a composer. A royalty free library on the other hand works on volume of sales, and it doesn’t make sense for the reason that Mark Lewis mentioned, and that doing the accounting for just a few sales on one or two tracks is likely a net loss for a royalty free library, when you factor in the time / cost of the book keeper, check cutting etc. Also the busy admin work of contracts, sending them, receiving music, adding composer to database etc etc for one track from a new composer is almost the same workload as it is for 1000 tracks.

It’s easier to sell a group of a particular composers tracks to a project as opposed to one or two.
Also, its MUCH easier for a library to deal with 5 composers with 10 tracks each, than 10 composers with 5 tracks each.

For me, working with musicloops is really consistent. I think at some point you’ve got to trust that the guys that are running things do know what they’re doing (ok maybe not all of them!!). Mark definitely knows what he’s doing and if you’re music is consistently good enough, you’ll get in.
I’m not 100% sure but I think pretty much every track I’ve got with musicloops has made money, obviously some more than others but my point is, the music that is accepted does sell.

Emmett Cooke, May 20th, 2010 at 1:41 am Reply:
Absolutely. I earn consistently through Musicloops and its one of the best sites to sell music on that I’ve come across. Mark always is quick to respond and treats his composers well. All music accepted has sold for me also

Good point!
Also we have a catalogue of over 300 tracks in a wide variety of styles. if a particular library ask for 5 tracks to ‘review’ you are going to send them a a representative sample of all the styles you do.
If that library likes a track in one particular style why not ask for 5 more in that style to review for acceptance?
Like I say I am more amazed rather than upset that a fairly mass market low end use library thinks our tracks are not up to their standards

All I have to say is that Music Loops seems to just work… The owner/operator seems to be more than open about when he will and wont be available. The interface is simple and straightforward, the pricing of tracks/sales seems to be fair and honest. My payments have been consistently on-time and hassle free. I really cannot give you less than 10 out of 10 stars… I mean few more sales would be great, but thats more about me then Music Loops.

Great site, works for me well.
The only issue is a slow approve process lately.. I guess, because of the big wave of new composers on the site. And I think the new composers are approved faster, which is legitimate. I had fast approves in the beginning.
[Reply]
Mark, June 3rd, 2010 at 4:31 am Reply:
Hi Sergei-
Just a few notes on my approval process in general.
1. Yes, I was swamped but am now catching up (I only see 2 approvals waiting for you, I will get to those today).
2. Keep in my mind that some songs may not get approved (we don’t have a system that shows when a song has not been approved and may implement one as Art has suggested before)
3. I like to spread the approvals for each composer out a bit, I don’t like to do them all at once, if I hear a track that is especially good I may stop so that track sits on the home page for a week or so then I will come back and approve the rest of the tracks by that composer later.
4. In general it is good to spread out approvals because you, the composer, have more chance of sitting on the home page for a while instead approving everything at once and then getting pushed down from the top spots as I approve other composers.
5. That being said, our sorting and search algorithm makes it so top listings on the home page don’t make *that* big a difference in sales. Composers who have uploaded years ago are still selling very consistently.
The way our listings are ordered, I think, is one of the fairest in the business. In the default mode you will never see 2 songs in a row by the same composer. Even if you uploaded one song three years ago you will still show up in the top 70 of all the listings.
The listing algo was designed to give everyone a chance to be heard and not to be just one big list of the latest uploads with everyone else getting pushed to the bottom.

Hi-
Apologies for the delay in reviews and responses to composer submissions recently.
Due to the fact that there are problems with composers involved in libraries that submit music to GoDigital Media we are re-working our acceptance policy for new composers.
We will have to test music from new composers on Youtube to see if their catalog triggers copyright notices.
We no longer accept submissions from composers involved in the Audiomicro or Rumblefish catalogs.
Our submission standards for music collections on Partners In Rhyme are also going to become much more strict and we will only offer the opportunity to distribute through Partners In Rhyme to composers who only work with “safe” libraries (libraries that don’t submit music to Adsharing schemes).
I will try to get through the MusicXray submissions today.

Well, better late than never. If it helps, I have received “critique” emails before from other MusicXray opportunities. So it’s not like my email is blocking them or anything.
Also, just replied to your email…..

Hi Mark
I submitted five tracks and received the emails from Musicxray to say successful.. and then three emails marked as received, can you confirm did you get all five.
FYI…I am not involved with any ad sharing libraries

Hello All,
Just to let everyone know we are here to help and support MusicLoops and all of you submitting music. We will work with Mark to see if there are any messages that need to be sent again or anything else along those lines. We do system health checks and tests to ensure the system is working as expected. All signs and tests show the system is running well but like I said we will still check into this by working together with our partner MusicLoops.
Thanks,
Music Xray Staff

GoDigital makes me a healthy sum every month. Its a shame PIR/MusicLoops have such a stringent policy on it, blocking existing composers and the like seems a bit harsh (if not odd and paranoid). I can maybe understand blocking new composers’ content, but c’mon man, don’t bite the hand that feeds you (your composers’), literally.

You do understand what’s been happening right? Some of Musicloops’ clients have been so embarrassed by the whole mess that they threatened to sue them. Trying to avoid this mess getting any worse is not exactly being a bit harsh or paranoid.

There is nothing odd or paranoid about protecting ones business and reputation.
When we have to deal with customers complaints on a daily basis because of another companies actions then we need to protect ourselves.
I’m glad you’re doing so well with GoDigital.

I am posting some of the Admin stats that we have available on musicloops.com to possibly help composers who have questions about what genres might be popular sellers at the moment.
In this first one these are all the genres available on Musicloops.com and the number shows how many customers/visitors clicked on each genre during the month of June 2010.
It doesn’t translate directly to what type of genres sell but the info might be helpful in some way.

I’ll post some other types of stats as I put them together.
