    I write a lot of indie rock,folk etc. and read a music supervisor talking about not being interested in a song if it’s in an NE library..don’t know if that was his personal preference or an industry thing? anyway the holy grail for me is getting one of my tunes in a movie that does well…I have a lot of songs that I’ve been holding back submitting to a certain NE that does make me good $ by way of radio play/streaming but to submit to them means I can’t remove the song EVER..just wondering if I’m being foolish here not to submit just to keep these songs clear for a “hopeful” placement…thanks..

    No, not necessarily foolish. If you’re more comfortable holding on to them for a while then you should. You’ll know when it’s right to submit them.

    About the holy grail of a movie placement, I’ve had a few. Remember there are no royalties for domestic theater performances. And once the movie gets to streaming on Netflix or where ever the payout is minimal. Of course a movie placement is something to be proud of, but getting a decent upfront fee is your best bet at compensation.

    Thanks Michael..and that’s the only way I’d do it..has anyone heard of a song being passed on because of being in a NE..I could probably double my radio $ by submitting a bunch of recently written songs..but again I’m more than a little reluctant…
