LOOP: The loop box indicates whether the file is authored to loop, or authored as a "one-shot" piece of music. When the box is checked, the file is authored to loop seamlessly in whatever application you're using it in. If the box is not checked, the file has been authored with a top and tail and is not intended to loop. NOTE: The demo button automatically loops the music file so you can get an idea of what it sounds like when looped. Please note that because of this, the demo file will play for a longer period of time than what is indicated in the length column.

COMP: The "comp" file is a "preview" file available for download and use in your production before you buy. It's also a way for you to demo our music for your clients without having to commit to a purchase. It's available as a 128kbs MP3 file. The dog bark is simply a watermark to prevent theft of our material and will be removed upon purchase. If the icon does not appear, no comp file is available. Click the icon to download.

CUESHEET: The cue sheet icon links to the cue sheet designated for each music track. It also indicates the composer and publisher information for each piece of music. If you're using our music in a broadcast medium, this form MUST be completed and returned to us within seven (7) days of your production air date to ensure proper tracking of our music with the performing rights societies. (BMI, ASCAP, PRS, SOCAN etc.) There are no additional fees involved with this! The broadcaster is responsible for paying performance fees to the performing rights societies when a PRS administered piece of music is broadcast- these fees are then payable to the composer and publisher and cannot be processed accurately without the composer and publisher information correctly being logged alongside your air date information. Each cue sheet contains the appropriate composer and publisher information needed to be correctly processed by BMI, ASCAP and so forth. This is an industry standard process and there are NO exceptions. By the way, it's illegal to broadcast our music and not report it. For additional information, please see our music licensing section here: http://www.soundrangers.com/html/licensing.html
Simply click the icon to open the cuesheet window and view the composer and publisher info. Click the "cuesheet" link to open the cuesheet form and complete it with the necessary information.

IMPORTANT: Each license gives you the non-exclusive worldwide rights for the lifetime of the product.

General: This is our general usage license which covers: non-commercial and commercial websites, single use DVD/CD-ROM/video, Kiosks, virtual business cards, internal business presentations, Powerpoint, personal use, theater, educational use, events, conventions, weddings.

Game, Web: This license covers usage in web based games, where the game is hosted on or as a website and not installed locally on a user's computer.

Game, Download: This license covers usage in downloadable casual games, both commercial and free. A downloadable game is defined as a game that is downloaded and installed locally onto your computer or PDA. It covers up to 500 downloads. This license gives you the non-exclusive, worldwide rights for the lifetime of the game in up to 500 downloads without any further license fees due. If you require more downloads than this, please purchase the "Game, Download Unlimited" license.

Game, Download Unlimited: This license covers usage in downloadable casual games, both commercial and free. A downloadable game is defined as a game that is downloaded and installed locally onto your computer or PDA. This license gives you the non-exclusive, worldwide rights for the lifetime of the game in an unlimited number of downloads without any further license fees due.

Resale/Production: If you plan on using our music in products made commercially available for sale to the public or OEMs, and/or are manufacturing multiple units of product which include our music, you'll need this license. It is both a sync and mechanical license and covers: software (downloadable and boxed), DVD, CD-ROM, video, Kiosks, virtual business cards, tradeshow promo discs etc. This license also covers usage in non-downloadable Console, PC and Handheld GAME titles. (For web and downloadable games, please see associated license above) There are several different pricing tiers based on the quantity of product you need. You can view these price points in the licensing drop down box next to each track of music.

So for example, if you've created a piece of software that requires up to 500 units manufactured, you're covered under the "Resale/Production 500" license. If you plan to manufacture more, you'll need to purchase the license that corresponds to the quantity you need. I.E. If you've created a DVD documentary that will be sold to the public and need up to 5000 units manufactured, you're covered under the "Resale/Production 5k" license. Shipping 100k units of your PC game? Select the "Resale/Production 100k" license. We don't require credits, but would love to be credited in your credit roll if one exists. As always, please ask if you have any questions.

Again, each license tier gives you the non-exclusive, worldwide rights to use the music for the lifetime of the product without any further license fees due.
