2. Why should I license a song from your catalog??

First, it is because the songs are in broadcast quality, no up-front licensing fees, very quick and legal.

This is the measurement of song quality and marketability rated by the publisher. “5″ is the highest possible rating. Everything in the song classification (those you see in the sidebar navigation) as well as the results of the site search is sorted by the track rating system in order for visitors to spot the strong songs in our catalog at the least possible time.

However, we suggest digging deeper in order to find songs that match your project. And the track rating system will prioritize those songs that you need to listen first.

No, this is due to congestion in the internet. If you experience cut off, try reloading the page (clear cache also) and do not divert away the page and stream the song. If it is still cut off, you will save time by just downloading the song directly to your desktop. There is no congestion anymore.

If our website form fails (which by accident can happen), it will serve very well. Since it is free you can put $0 for the bid. PLEASE SUBMIT ONLY SONG INQUIRIES BELONGING TO OUR CATALOG (THOSE SONGS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE).

14. There are some songs with acoustic or studio recording version, can I download both of them at one instant?

I think there is a restriction with the downloading in the server side, as one download can only be allowed at one time.You can download the other version by repeating the whole process (clicking the button–> agreeing the terms –> download the other version).
