LICENSING MUSIC
Licensing fees will vary depending on:
What type of media the music is being licensed for
The geographic area the license covers
The length of the license term
And also:
How much music is being licensed; licensing an entire disc will give you a lower per cue fee than licensing one cue. Licensing the entire library will give you a lower per cue fee then licensing one disc.
