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! 🙂

No but you can contact them and they will send you a spreadsheet/csv file of all your registrations. That might help.
MM_MusicworksParticipantThanks Art! Thats very helpful.

I asked for exactly that in January. No reply. Still waiting,,,,,
Brian CurtinParticipantWhen using the BMI catalog search window, here is a workaround I have used to see the most current registrations.
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.Art MunsonKeymasterThanks Brian, good one!
boinkeee2000Participantwhat a great tip brian, thanks! no need to copy paste and sort in excel anymore
MM_MusicworksParticipantWow that is awesome! Just what I needed! Thank you Brian!
LAwriterParticipantNEVERMIND!! 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.
LAwriterParticipantPS – Art – thanks again!!!
johnnyboyParticipantThank 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.
Joh
Michael NickolasParticipantYeah, I could never find a single new cue sheet. It’s hard enough just to find a new series.
