Hi Mark, what’s the upgrade procedure for a previous install? I would like to upgrade the beta I already have installed.

[Art Munson]

We will be charging a small fee for that add on but I thought I would make CSV Importer free to all MLR subscribers in a separate thread if that’s ok with Art.

Fine with me Mark. Thanks!

I find that if THEY are interested in your stuff, THEY will contact you with in a few days. If I never get a response, I will wait a year and re-submit. I only send them a link to my tunes as a demo. I would never send certain cues only to a certain library. Cues stuck in limbo, or on a shelf, can’t make you any money! It’s first come, first served. If there are certain tunes they like, that have already been placed by then, tell them you can write something new, that sounds like it!

[Art Munson]

A month seems reasonable to me.

[Art Munson]

I am talking about both kinds of music libraries.

[Art Munson]

Great, thanks Mark!

I would like CSV import of metadata and the ability to designate a path to music stored on another server (I store mine on Amazon’s S3 servers).

Hi Mark, any news on this front?

[Art Munson]

Doesn’t make much sense to me detections with Tunesat or any other if PRO’s refuse to pay out on those detections.

I’m thinking a music detection service would be most helpful with recovering unpaid money from sync licensing – so I’m looking into detection services with that in mind. But other than Tunesat, I haven’t found any others (yet) that work with an individual composer.

I’m wondering if anyone has negotiated a better money split with Tunesat or if Tunesat has lowered their 50% cut?

iTunes does a great job but it’s slow to open just to convert a file.

I agree. I may try Switch again. Have you checked your Switch converted MP3s to make sure they haven’t been truncated?

[Art Munson]

I recently bought the Sonnox Codec Toolbox (around $50) and sounds great! Best encoder I’ve used. You can also audition your track in real time to hear what the mp3 will sound like within your DAW and is great for metadata editing and batch encoding. Very trustworthy.

I use “Switch” everyday, and love it. Goes to show you, what works for one, doesn’t for another!

[Art Munson]

“Switch” from NCH Audio

I had problems with “Switch”. For some reason it would cut off any MP3 file it created and tech support wasn’t any help. I use iTunes without any problems.

[Art Munson]

For exclusives, it would be better to write for whatever demand that they have. For a few exclusive libraries I work with, Inget requests for songs in certain genres or with a certain vibe. I write to those listings.

The other songs I come up with on my own mostly go to non-exclusive companies. But even a few non-exclusive libraries have a need for certain songs at certain time points. Asking what a library needs is probably the most helpful thing for composers. Providing what is needed at the right time is helpful.

[Art Munson]

Tunesat is working good for me. I get steady hits for the songs that I have registered with them. But most of my songs are not registered with Tunesat. I still see new placements in my PRO account.

None of these digital fingerprint systems are 100%, but what is?

[Art Munson]

Ha, you know, last week, Tunesat detected a usage for me in a late-night replay on History Channel, but missed the prime time premiere … so they’re definitely missing things.
