Hello All!
My catalog on BMI has now gone to over 700 titles… this is because a famous RF co. registered all my tracks on their site to my BMI account… this forms about 650 tracks from that famous RF site alone.
Yesterday, I noticed that my BMI registrations had gone up by 1. But, there is no way (that I know of) to find out what track that is and which company registered it. Going through 700 entries with the naked eye is not a laughable task (or maybe it is… LOL)
Does anyone know any method to sort the BMI catalog digitally and make finding new entries simpler?
Thank you! ๐

No but you can contact them and they will send you a spreadsheet/csv file of all your registrations. That might help.

I asked for exactly that in January. No reply. Still waiting,,,,,

Title and/or Participant – Select this one
Include background cues – Uncheck this one
Include registered works – Select this one
Last Name/Publisher – Type in your last name (or a particular publisher)
Registration Date: Put in the date you want to search from (09/15/2020)

With this search criteria, only the current registrations will show up based on the date you enter.September 18, 2020 at 11:50 am #35795Art MunsonKeymasterThanks Brian, good one!
September 18, 2020 at 12:26 pm #35796boinkeee2000Participantwhat a great tip brian, thanks! no need to copy paste and sort in excel anymore
September 19, 2020 at 2:53 am #35797MM_MusicworksParticipantWow that is awesome! Just what I needed! Thank you Brian!
September 19, 2020 at 8:56 am #35798LAwriterParticipantNEVERMIND!! I see you are searching from inside your account, and not from the BMI Repertoire search on the front page of there website. Got it!! Thanks

Can you (or someone else who pulled this off) link to the page you’re searching on? I tried a couple different browsers, and I just don’t have those options. Thanks.
September 19, 2020 at 8:56 am #35799LAwriterParticipantPS – Art – thanks again!!!
September 20, 2020 at 10:20 am #35806johnnyboyParticipantThank goodness ASCAP always lists by date of submission. Any new title goes on top the list and highlighted. I wish they’d do the same for cue sheets. Sometimes it takes me an hour to find new cue sheets.
