Licensing music for CDs

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Stack-of-CDsDid you know you can legally license music for as little as £5?

Adding an inspiring track to your training video, a cover version to your album release or a famous piece to your trade promotion can take your work to new levels.

Staff at 24-7dvd can advise you on every aspect of music licensing and help you get access to the music that you want.

How can I legally license music?

We work with PRS for music, the UK’s rights collection agency.  It exists to help businesses, individuals and community groups gain access to the music they want whilst fighting piracy and making sure that songwriters, composers and publishers are rightly rewarded.

For less than you might think you can get access to a well known piece of music for use on

  • Educational Products
  • Covermounts (free CDs supplied with magazines or newspapers)
  • Promotional/ Premium products – supplied for marketing communications
  • Trade Promotions
  • Aerobics/ Exercise CDs

How much does it cost?

The cost of licensing the music depends on the duration of the music that you use and the number of copies you make.

For smaller organisations the Limited Manufacture Licence grants you permission to legally use music in your own CDs DVDs and other formats for as little as £5.00.

You can check that you are eligible before applying and then apply, have permission granted and pay on line.

Don’t worry – it’s easy!

If you need more information you can call PRS for Music on 020 7580 5544 or Check out their web site.

24-7dvd is a PRS approved manufacturer and we can answer any questions that you might have.

Getting your CD recognised on-line

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Please follow the instructions below to add track names to the CD database.

Insert CD in to iTunes
Right click on to the first track and select info.

This will then give you the possibility to fill in the track details. Please
repeat this for each individual track.

Once you are happy with your track labelling, select from the tool bar
“Advance” and then select submit CD Track names.

And thats it! Please give iTunes about 24h to add the data to their
database.

The system identifies the CD based on the length and order of the tracks.
This means if one song is ripped of the disc it will no longer recognise
that song from its database.
