Are you sure it’s not a promo? Not all of those show up.
@Advice be sure to contact Nan. I’ve known her for years and can highly recommend.
I’ll forward this to MichaelL. He may be able to help.
No upfront filter as there are very few that do.
Have you checked your BMI account under Royalty Statements? It should tell you what it was for.
Try using the search filters here:
@BobBallard. It’s not really a problem. Identifyy just quietly collects the royalties and does not, usually, issue takedowns unless requested. We have hundreds of videos detected and never had an issue with a client copyright strike. That was more of a problem a few years ago. All of our music is non-exclusive.
@BobBallard. I would imagine those libraries want to collect any royalties for themselves. I would not put that music in Identifyy. This is my opinion and I’m willing to be proven wrong. 🙂
@DavidM If they are exclusive to other libraries, I would think it might be a problem unless you are designating, to Soundmouse, that the exclusive library is the publisher.
Thanks MaxPower. I forgot about Soundmouse.
It may be allowed in the fine print of your contract. Have you contacted the company that licensed it? It seems to me that would be the first step.
Finding a detection service that your PRO would approve of is the most challenging aspect. Based on my experience with BMI, they usually do not accept such services. This leads to extensive efforts in tracking down different entities like libraries, cue sheets, and music supervisors, and reconciling the disparities. Accuracy becomes a major issue due to the numerous inconsistencies in detections with TV shows.
Over the years, this endeavor has largely been unproductive, except for one notable exception: commercials. Since commercials tend to run continuously, it becomes possible to gather sufficient data to get the attention of the PRO.

I would if I were you. I do and it picks up the alt mixes and up to the 30 sec. They don’t take anything shorter than 30s.
All my file names use a catalog number (easier to keep track of) and there are no spaces. I came up with a scheme to identify the type of track. I assign an alias to that number which is the name that I use for the library. I built a database years ago to keep track of all this and it’s fairly seamless. As an example:
HR0001.0 = Hard Rock Song – Full Mix
HR0001.1 = Hard Rock Song – DnB
HR0001.2 = Hard Rock Song – BedI don’t have March either.
