Art, what if the promos appear on Numerator with an ad code? Can you send it to ASCAP/BMI along with the video as proof to get paid? I have around 20-30 promos that have ran on Fox News and Fox Business.
Haven not heard of promos with an ad code. Call the commercial dept in Nashville and ask them. They are usually very responsive.
Does anyone know of libraries that would be specifically interested in solo jazz piano?
I believe that most libraries would want a broad range of genres so their catalog would appeal to a wider range of potential clients.
Seems okay for me.
A lot would depend on how popular the podcast is. Anywhere from $50 to $1k?
As for a contract check this out:
https://www.rocketlawyer.com/sem/music-license-agreement.rl#/Given the state of the music business today and IF I needed the money, I would take the deal. Generally, it would take a lot for me to give up a copyright.
1. How to agree on what kind of license they are buying? Is it part of the site or a conversation?
I would make it part of the functionality of the store site (I don’t do that on ours).
2. How do they receive your important information (contact info, BMI/ASCAP account number so you get royalties)? Do you send them a pdf? Include the metadata in your audio file?
It’s included in the invoice they receive from us.
3. Did you consult a lawyer beforehand? Why?
No, poked around other sites to see what their terms of service were and created my own. They can’t check out until agreeing to them.

Bump.
I wouldn’t worry about it as long as they are placing your music. They may very well be overwhelmed with submissions or spending their time pitching their catalog for placements.
There are no rules. If the back end is decent tell them 50% of the original or just try for the original fee.

Thanks Orca, for the kind words.
I’ve definitely been looking into Soundmouse. Are there any downsides or reasons not to put your music in there? Have you found it helpful?
No downsides that I know of but too soon to tell if helpful.
I’m in Soundmouse and BMAT.
