		<description>Big fans of Pump, good guys.

And Ricall has been at this a long time, as has been noted here.

There are plenty of companies trying to make this work.  Maybe YouLicense gets it right... who knows?  It all comes down to the music and relationships.  Sites that just take on thousands of tracks from artists who would never get record deals are just filling up their cupboards with noise, imho.

We've at least got a fun discovery engine to play with while you're looking for music.  :)  Check it out : www.burstlabs.com !</description>

		<description>There is nothing really new about this - Ricall have been doing it since 1998. They've built up a library of 3 million tracks from major and indie labels and publishers and recently added another million after signing a deal with Sony BMG. You can license anything from No. 1 hits to unsigned acts and production music. They also produce a cool digital mag at www.decibelonline.co.uk</description>

		<description>Hi Everyone,

I built and developed the music licensing site www.digitalmix.com and invite all of you to take a look.
We represent (non-exclusively) all our artists master and publishing rights world wide for all types of third party licensing. Once a music supervisor searches and finds the artist or songs they are interested in, they merely click the license tab and send us basic licensing info. We then contact them and finalize the terms immediately and send them a license. It's that easy and fast. I was the former head of the licensing division at The Harry Fox Agency in New York and this site seems to be the perfered method of exposing great artists' music to all users and licensees.
Many licensing sites, as you know, are from Production Music Libraries (PML's) and are generic in nature, not the real music from famous and internationally acclaimed artists such as those on the www.digitalmix.com site. 
Please take a look let me know what you think.
Regards,
Vincent</description>

		<description>If done correctly I'm sure the site can generate plenty of traffic but a true sound marketplace has to be based around the two greatest needs which is QUALITY and a realistic ability to earn income. If not then this is SoundClick with a marketing angle on licensing as another way to create a social network effect.</description>

		<description>Pump Audio has been doing this since about 2001 (that's when we started using them, anyway...) and with online transactions for well over a year with exactly the same concept. The music's all independent, and you license online with a credit card.

		<description>This will probably only be available to US-customers though, since the copyright rules of the world are very different.

However it could easily be expanded if its a success...

It's about damn time music started selling itself differently!</description>

		<description>This is a ground-breaking initiative.  I am confident that fledgling artists and a host of small to medium music companies will be enthusiastic to get started and do business on this site.  The majors will jump on the wagon when they feel it's safe to do so (soon, I think).

		<description>I recently asked an executive from Sony/ATV Music Publishing this question: If a band is selling direct to consumers, should the band give away low cost or free sync licenses to video game makers, filmmakers or advertisers to generate exposure, and isn’t the exposure worth more than the sync fee; especially to a band selling direct to fans with no label involved? Honestly, you would have thought that I popped the tires on his Porsche. How could I ask such a thing; everyone knows that giving away synchronization rights is foolish; that's how songwriters earn a living – dude!

Yeah, if you’re signed to a label and you’re only making five cents on a digital track, maybe you should hold out for some publishing money. However, if you’re selling direct and earning seventy cents per track, the exposure is worth more than the sync fee any day of the week.  (continued)</description>
