It is possible for them to do it, but I doubt they would be interested in doing it. And I wouldn’t be so quick to knock non exclusive libraries, I just found out about my first TV placement back in March and it was for a non exclusive track.

What is this? #33655RM90ParticipantIn this case the label is the licensing company, and they collect the publishing royalties. And yes, an indie artist should seek out non-exclusive representation. If the tracks have already been published to Spotify and whatnot then someone is already collecting the publishing royalties.

What is this? #33653RM90ParticipantAn exclusive deal means that the label or publisher is the first and only one to release the music (until the contract expires). Since you have already published your tracks to these other platforms, they aren’t eligible for such a contract. You’ll want to create some new music to give to them. Your artist music that has already been released can be used on non-exclusive sites.
RM90ParticipantThey use youtube content ID, so it can cause problems for sites that don’t allow that. I uploaded my stuff on there a while back, and once I was done I was told that they use Content ID so I immediately removed them all.
RM90ParticipantThanks for the info guys! I emailed ASCAP to see if there was a cue sheet or any more info. Surprisingly it was actually a non-exclusive track so I got the publishing and songwriter royalties! I do have the track on tunesat but it never picked it up, probably because I have the basic account.
RM90ParticipantLot of stuff, rock, corporate, ukulele, acoustic, meditation, world music
RM90ParticipantGetty Images is a pretty high earner for me, once in a while I get a sale on Tunefruit.
RM90ParticipantThey generally add the money together from all sales and split it with the composers based on how much each composer sold. I personally avoid subscription sites because I believe it devalues the composers, and seems like not a lot of money to be made.

RM90ParticipantSomeone beat Marvin Gaye’s estate to this one lol
RM90ParticipantI found out today that a Pond5 track of mine is being used for a YouTube series and they actually submitted a cue sheet to ASCAP. Anyone have any experience with this? I didn’t know YouTube cue sheets were a thing. Will my track be put into the YouTube content ID system?
July 21, 2019 at 4:55 pm in reply to: Same or different styles for exclusive library submission? #32742RM90ParticipantI’m currently sitting on a handful of unreleased tracks to submit to an exclusive library. They are all happy tropical ukulele, anyone have any recommendations as to a library that would be a good fit for that style?
RM90ParticipantDoes anyone know if there is an online equivalent to tunesat? Something that detects online use without using Content ID?
RM90ParticipantI jump around to different genres, you never know if you will be good at one til you try it. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised, sometimes I realize that a style is not my forte. I do have a few genres that I am great at (rock, vacation-type music, happy commercial), and I do more of those tracks than any others.
