Part 4/10:
Music licensing agencies or libraries act as intermediaries, pitching your music to various media projects on your behalf. Contractually, these libraries often take a commission—typically 20-50%—but handle negotiations and distribution.
Benefits:
Exposure to high-profile placements with less direct effort
Potential for ongoing royalties in addition to upfront fees
Opportunities to sign exclusive or non-exclusive deals
