I agree. Do your own research, cultivate your own contacts, build your own relationships. Besides – anyone listed in that book is presumably now going to be inundated with by anyone who has purchased it.
I know of at least one library who I have exclusive music with who upload it to Audiosparx, but they have them listed on their website as a distributor, along with many others worldwide. I guess as long as that’s not all they are doing to work the music, (and I know they work hard to place the music) it’s okay..?
I just found out about this. Whilst I was looking it up I also found out that BB King, Ben E King, Percy Sledge and Mike Porcaro died in the last few weeks. I am in total shock. Rest In Peace you giants of music.
A lot of these companies are run by musicians or ex-musicians, and you know what musicians can be like! Slackers! Most of the time they are not trying to rip you off, they’re busy working and they miss deadlines like the rest of us, although I appreciate that when it comes to money they should be much more on the ball.
I have one publisher who keeps getting me placements, usually owes me a fair bit in fees and is always late paying. But I trust him – he’s open about the placements he’s getting, always lets me know about them, and is working hard, and I’m he’ll pay me soon enough.
You have to be patient, and be nice, and you’ll usually get what’s owed to you.
