So, anyone have any placements with this library? If so, what kind (cable TV, network TV, etc.?) What kind of market(s) do they typically shoot for?
All Markets, they are one of the few Major Independent companies left in the game.
A good way for you to know if a company is being really aggressive is to see if they are doing big trade shows like NAB.

Not from what I read. You have to go to 615 Song Catalog to create an account and upload. 615 Music is mail only. I just listed 615 Song Catalog.
615 Music is EXCLUSIVE
Contract Length: Indefinite (work for hire)
Payment Schedule: PRO Money Only
License Fee Split: 0/100
PRO Split Based on 100%: 50/50
What you have listed now is for 615 Song Catalog and it is completely different deal.
Hi Mark
My take would be if they make a point of recommending against it, then don’t put tracks in their library and others. If they end up encountering a conflict, it certainly won’t enhance your relationship with them.
I called or emailed them once about submissions and they did emphasize that they don’t want to compete with other libraries for the same tracks. So whether it’s written into the contract or just their guidelines, I say if you work with them honor their wishes.

The 615 song catalog recommends that you do not submit to other libraries, but it is not forbidden. I do not know about the other libraries under 615 music.
Just to reiterate what was said earlier. They are non-exclusive but they are exclusive as far as other libraries. You can sign songs with them and still pitch for artists, etc but not to other libraries. This may not be clear on their website, I don’t recall.
615 Song Catalog is non-exclusive FYI……………..www.615songcatalog.com
I contacted them once, but never got around to submitting. The did answer my email promptly and give info about submissions. I asked if their deal was exclusive- it is with respect to other music libraries. You can still pitch songs for artists and other applications but they don’t want to compete with other libraries on your tracks. They are not the only library that has this policy and there are understandable reasons for it. A big concern out there is the same track landing on a music supervisor’s desk from multiple sources. It can cause problems and bidding wars.
As much as most of us don’t like exclusives, often the most successful libraries are. Their clients like knowing that they truly are the only representative of the tracks presented and there will be no conflicts.
Exclusive only as far as other libraries is a decent compromise. In fact, there is a valid school of thought that one shouldn’t put the same tracks in multiple non-exclusive libraries anyway, if they serve similar markets.
Good experience with the 615 Song Catalog. They do listen and they do re-title (for the question above). I have 7 songs in that library.
i thought 615 retitle?
First impression: Efficient.
Prompt response to queries.
Explain things clearly.
