I’ve found the best way is to call BMIs commercial division in Nashville. I had something similar happen with a US commercial that had not been reported. They were great, sorted it quickly and sent me a check for 4 figures, and that commercial turned into 5 figures.
My commercial reporting was only behind about 6 months. International takes longer and I’m not sure they will go back years. Best to call them.

@BEATSLINGER So true, not worth the time, IMHO.
Will do. Thanks Alan.
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that the Mac version of Composer Catalog is now available. For those who do not know what Composer Catalog is, it is software that designed to help me keep my music tracks organized.
You can download a free fully functional trial at https://www.myeasymusic.ir/
The only limitation in the trial is that you can only have 5 tracks.Thanks!
Yes!
I have my entire catalog up on SoundCloud, and it has worked very well in a couple new libraries finding me, or for them to listen to tracks to get an idea of what I do. Most, however,want you to submit tracks to them via their library to audition. I have had over 18,000 plays on SoundClound in the 3 years I have been on.
Yep!
“if I remember correctly the term “royalty free” means the licensee can use the track in multiple productions without paying a new fee. It is not related to royalties paid to the composer.”
Yep!
That is truly a horrible deal, in my estimation. I’d like to know the name of the library so I can warn other composers away from them!
Any kind of upfront money is rare these days. A custom brief would be the most likely scenario.
@p30better. Read what I wrote above. You can do better. I purchased the Noah link hardware and got a copy of the Compass GPS software. The Widex go up to 10k. Not perfect but better than 8k. A lot of people tweak their settings themselves.
A lot of info here: https://www.hearingaidtalk.com/community/ and here: https://forum.hearingtracker.com/
audiologists only test up to 8 Hz. My hearing has lost most of my high end. I keep asking if they can test up to 12kHz and above and the answer has been no. I have looked into hearing aids and the best they can do is go up to 7 KHz. My hearing curves down after 5Khz. I have other people do my mixes. Looking into bone convection, it seems it might help the low end but not the high end. SOL.
Hi, Thank you for this information, I’ll keep my eyes on it.

Make Your Voice Heard! Sign Our Letter to the U.S. Copyright Office.
There’s a conversation currently taking place on Capitol Hill that requires your voice and perspective as a music creator or copyright owner.
It started when music licensees approached Congress with concerns about PROs and the performing rights marketplace. We believe the ultimate goal of these licensees is to pay you less for your creative work, and we’ll advocate tirelessly to stop that from happening.
The Copyright Office had to respond to Congress and chose to do so by issuing a request for comments about how the PRO marketplace is working. It is critical that they hear your voice in this important debate. We’re urging you to add your signature to a letter to the Copyright Office sharing your perspective on what public performance royalties mean for you and your livelihood.
