Great site.
I’m also a bit worried about this Content ID situation because it will block you from a lot of the libraries. But AudioMicro support emailed me back and told me that they don’t put Content ID on the tracks. I also see that GoDigital is out of sevice.
I’m not sure what to believe here.

Hi Nadege, thanks for the heads up. It’s just unbelievable that a company like audiomicro would claim royalties though GoDigtal Media Group without your consent. It seems that GoDigtal Media Group has gone out of business, at least their website (godigitalmg.com) is no longer active.

I actually had a couple of tracks on audiomicro for testing fixed pricing services, but I have now closed my account (had not made a single sale anyway). I sure don’t want to be excluded from other sites because of their bad practices.

I will probably make a blog post about this tracking topic as it is highly relevant to all interested in selling royalty free music online. GoDigtal Media Group is not the only shark out there. Thanks again 🙂

It’s important to be careful with which websites you signing to. A guy posted some tips on a forum about Royalty free music websites and said that it’s important to ask the companies if they are using services like Godigital or any other to track music. Here’s what he said about it :

“2) NEVER deal with RF sites that fingerprint or trace your music.
here is a lil story . A good friend of mine , a composer that also sells the same tracks all over the place was banned from a pretty profitable site 2 weeks ago , because a client bought a track from that site , put it under his youtube video and his youtube account was blocked for a few days because of copyright infringement ..
this is what happened .. my friend uploaded his 100 tracks to a whole bunch of royaltyfree sites (non exclusively) .. and one company called audiomicro (without his consent) fingerprinted his tracks through a company called “go digital” in order to make extra royalties from plays on youtube .. but since my friend is selling the same tracks all over the place it created problems , cuz people that bought the same track from any other place other than audiomicro were told that they are using the music illegally and that its copyrighted by audiomicro. Basically he was kicked out and threatened to get sued from a couple of good sites . thank god he figured out that by pitching the tracks up or down a semitone bypasses the godigital system , im any case YOUR FIRST Question to RF companies should be to you use Godigtal or similar services to track music .. if yes , avoid them”

Sorry I can’t seem to post the link of the topic. It’s really interesting though.

I have decided only to sign-up to libraries that let’s me set the price of the tracks myself. This way I can keep control and experiment with the pricing. If I could set the price myself I would definitely upload my tracks to your service as your 60% commission is quite generous.

StockAudio.net is fairly new to the marketplace, but is quickly growing its catalogue and offers composers 60% commissions – non-exclusive, so you can still sell your music elsewhere.

Hi Mark, thanks. I will definitely have a look at them. For how long have you been with productiontrax.com? I’m also looking at yookamusic.com, musicloops.com and musicsupervisor.com.
