Re: [iphonesb] licensing tunes for an app

I can now understand why it's attractive to get something written specifically for you. Yikes! :-)
Thanks for the info.

You might learn, for example, that an entire category of fees doesn't apply to your situation, or some such. Well worth the price, IMO.

I've got an app coming close to completion (K -- 3 early childhoood education), and want to include a few snippets of tunes that were popular in the 1950's. i'm presuming that i'll be owing somebody a royalty per app, maybe even each time a tune is played in the app, but that's about all I know. Does anyone have information on this topic, ie, how to find the copyright holder of the pieces, what are typical licensing terms, etc etc. I'm in Canada if that's relevant to the discussion.
