Yes, ASCAP website has a notification about this:
“With the launch of Songview, ASCAP and BMI are working together to make copyright data more accessible and transparent for all of our partners.”

Michael NickolasParticipantWhy would an exclusive track be in another library under a different title? Exclusive means one library only. Or do I misunderstand the question?
Michael NickolasParticipantGot one today with a playtime of over two minutes!
Michael NickolasParticipantA few have come in. Last one was for a show with

Michael NickolasParticipantMine are closer to reality today but not exactly matching my records from before the maintenance.
Michael NickolasParticipantThat is a tricky one. Maybe price it somewhere along the lines of a regional television advertisement and an internet streaming advertisement, existing music? Maybe $375 but for a year? Don’t know really, just trying to be helpful.

Presentation tips #35876Michael NickolasParticipantOn Artlist $16.60 a month gets users unlimited music, universal licenses, unlimited downloads and lifetime use in unlimited projects. How this equates to the music business going up for composers is a mystery to me.
Michael NickolasParticipantHello Frank, I think you need to set a series of smaller goals to reach your “1500 track” goal. Don’t think about how many tracks a day you need to create to reach 1500, it’s too overwhelming. Set a smaller goal first. I would suggest starting with a goal of creating a 12 song collection (album) all of the same style. Present this collection it to “high end” libraries. It’s hard to make a connection shopping music unsolicited or “blind”, but it’s not unheard of. If you strike out, consider “mid tier” libraries. Find a good home for it and move on to the next project!
Michael NickolasParticipantYeah, I could never find a single new cue sheet. It’s hard enough just to find a new series.

Things seem to digress “feelwise” a bit after that. I don’t think the bass is working. Try simplifying it and syncing the bass notes up with the kick drum rhythm. The sound of the voice sample is somewhat artificial and the whistle sound takes me by surprise.
Michael NickolasParticipant> Is it as simple as just following each libraries protocols about how to submit music<
I would say yes, follow submission protocols, then forget about the submission and move on. When you hear back with a rejection don’t dwell on it. It’ll be your first of many. Just keep creating and submitting to places until you find what works for you.
I would also say no need to have your ducks in a row. Once accepted you can work on what you need to provide to them.

lol 🙂
