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.

Art MunsonKeymasterBump.
Art MunsonKeymasterI 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.
Art MunsonKeymasterThere are no rules. If the back end is decent tell them 50% of the original or just try for the original fee.
Art MunsonKeymasterBump
Art MunsonKeymasterThanks Orca, for the kind words.
Art MunsonKeymasterI’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.
Art MunsonKeymasterI’m in Soundmouse and BMAT.
Art MunsonKeymasterProbably pennies or a total of very low dollars.
Art MunsonKeymasterYou should get something. Hard to know how much.
Art MunsonKeymasterYou should but it depends on how much.
1. Do you belong to a PRO?
2. Who placed the ad?
3. Where and when is it running?
4. How often is it running?Art MunsonKeymasterThey are listed here. The forum is not the proper place for library questions.
Art MunsonKeymasterArt, what was it about the BMAT contract that you didn’t like? Did you continue with them and upload all or most of your music?
Don’t remember now but I did go ahead and upload all my tracks, including alts. Watch out if you upload 30 second mixes. They say they will accept 30 but they will kick back any length between 30 and 31. I had to go through 75 mixes and add extra length to get them to accept them. What a pain but I finally found a way to do that fairly quickly.
