I just got accepted with this library and are now uploading my music.
Their website looks good and is easy to navigate and search. Their pricing is a little on the low side, because of the relatively low commission split at 43%. Uploading and tagging are quite easy and their FTP server (only upload option) is actually fast and reliable.
One thing that is a little strange is that I don’t see any payment options in the control panel. Maybe they only pay by check, but that seems rather old fashioned when everybody else gives you the option of PayPal or direct bank wire.
You can now see and edit PayPal e-mail in your profile.
I have had two sales so far, but I’m not sure when they will pay. The info on the whole composers part of the site is very limited. Do notice that to get paid you have to write them an email or use their live chat.

FYI: Just found out that composer payments are made twice a year on January 15 and June 15.
Which by the way, I don’t really like. I think it should be at least once a quarter or whenever we choose.
I agree monthly payments should be made, like on most other libraries. Also I find it strange that I cant find a place to put my payment information in the admin section at Themusicase
you’re right… that is odd. i thought i remember giving them my paypal email at some point. we’ll see….
FYI: got my first payment from themusicase. $180 for 2 months! i also suggested they pay more often…. at least once a quarter.
$180 for 2 months thats awesome David, You’re music just keep proving itself! I’ve been busy with other things so have not yet uploaded to Themusicase, but I will make sure do so.
Thanks for sharing the info it’s appreciated by all of the readers of this blog 🙂
Hey David, I have a question for you. I just sold my first track on Musicase. The price was 29$, but my commission turned out to be 9$. Now, according to the contract, my commission should be 43% of “agency net income”. They do not specify what “net income” is. Anyway, 9$ is only about 30%, not 43% !!! What is your experience with them? Do you get 43% or .. ?
Thanks
Happy New Year everybody!!!
yes, that’s right but remember it’s 9 euros which is about $12 or 43%. i also noticed sometimes i may only get 8 euros and on one song only 6. don’t know why the difference. i had zero sales with them in december… first time that ever happened. i started out with great sales back last spring but now only sell one or two a month with them. holiday blues? 🙂
Oh, my mistake, I thought it was 9 dollars, it’s actually 9 euros. Ok, now it makes sense … thanks for the help!
Musicase is supposed to pay twice a year (January and June) on the 15th. I’ve haven’t seen anything yet. Anyone else gotten a payment this month?
I had two sales with them, but seen no payment yet. But on the sales page under “Composer Payment” it also says “Not Completed” not sure what that means?
No, nothing. But I’ve had only one sale with them.
they finally paid me 3 days ago!
You never know how your music will be used from these libraries. I had a song licensed last week from themusicase for this dolphin/whale YouTube video that has gone viral. It now has over 3,000, 000 views!

Fortunately, the owner gave me credit in his comments and folks have been able to fine me asking where to buy my track. I’ve sold a few tracks but the exposure has been amazing!
that’s amazing!!!
congratulations!!
I just had a new look at the video with your music, its now close to 6 million views!
Wild isn’t it!!! I have no idea how much revenue this might generate for me. Anyone know? I uploaded the song to iTunes, Amazon, etc a few days after it went online. And it’s registered with BMI. Have had about 50 downloads of the song in iTunes so far. Since then, 4 others have licensed the track; one is using it in an underwater exploration video; don’t know about the other 3. Hey, if I don’t become a millionaire, at least the exposure has been nice. 🙂
Anyone sold much on musicase? i also uploaded new tracks but don’t see them in my account. and no commission has been paid for january 2015. wonder if anyone is home there???
I have made 2 sales at themusicase and have just requested payment in their live-chat. The supporter told me that you have to request yourself either by e-mail or using the live chat. We will see in a week if I get paid as promised.
I had to email them, too. Did get paid last week. I wish they just pay automatically every month or quarter. i am not having much luck with them lately.
