Re: [iphonesb] licensing tunes for an app

Thanks Bill,
I've started looking into it. It's way more complicated, and at least at this point looking quite a bit more expensive, than I was hoping for. We shall see tho.

Re: [iphonesb] licensing tunes for an app

In the U.S. I'd look at ASCAP or BMI, Canada has SOCAN which I guess is the equivalent. These are Performance Rights Organizations which are tasked with getting the royalties to the right person, not necessarily the artist that performed the song and needs the money (but that's an entirely different issue…)

Alternately, have you considered commissioning some music in the same vein? Might be less expensive in the long run and certainly less restrictive. Or even an afternoon with Garage Band?

Good luck.
