“all the while double dipping behind the scenes to enrich themselves.”
So true!
@sebgar. If you are going to be pitching to exclusive libraries I would not allow reposting. If non-exclusive libraries, I don’t see a problem. But I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV. 🙂
@sebgar. What do you mean by “reposting” some of my tracks?

@LAwriter. I did not but that’s a good thought. Maybe I’ll ask ChatGPT, or Bard, to modify it for me. 🙂 On the other hand I still think I’d rather spend my time writing music than prompts. Couple that with the fact that a growing number of libraries will not accept any music with any element of AI in it.
@Lincoman I’m getting detections up to today 10/21/23
Yes it is Music1234 but I’m not surprised. Once I heard they were going “for profit” I assumed they would be screwing us over again. Sigh.. Hard to get too get excited about writing anything.
They do miss a number of detections but ever since they caught a commercial I would not have known about and netted about $18k, I’m not writing them off.
That’s a very broad question and I don’t believe you will find a simple answer but:
Look at the trends. What genres are popular in film, TV, and advertising? What kinds of music are people listening to on streaming services? You can use tools like Google Trends and Spotify Charts to track trends and see what’s popular.
Check out library music websites. Most library music websites have a section on their homepage where they highlight the most popular and in-demand genres. You can also browse their catalogs by genre to see what they have to offer.
Here are some of the most in-demand and saleable genres for library music in 2023 (or any year):
Hybrid genres. Hybrid genres that combine elements of different styles, such as pop-rock, electronica-jazz, and hip-hop-classical, are becoming increasingly popular.
World music. World music from all over the globe is in high demand, especially for documentaries and travel shows.
Ambient music. Ambient music is often used in corporate videos, commercials, and films to create a sense of mood or atmosphere.
Cinematic music. Cinematic music is perfect for trailers, film scores, and video games.
Upbeat, positive music. Upbeat, positive music is always in demand for commercials, advertising, and other media.
Ultimately, the best way to choose genres for library music is to write music that you love and that you think is unique and original. If you’re writing music that you’re passionate about, it’s more likely to resonate with others and be successful.
