Filmmakers, YouTubers, businesses, podcasts, games — they need cleared music every single day, and they pay real money for it. Right now they can’t buy yours, because there’s no shelf your catalog sits on. The Exchange is that shelf. List your songs once, choose where they can earn, and get paid the second anyone licenses one.
Same money. One took fifteen thousand people. The other took one buyer who needed your song.
List a song with the switches you choose, a buyer licenses the exact use they need, and the sale splits to everyone on the song the same second — while the buyer walks away with a receipt anyone can verify.
Old songs, new songs, songs already on Spotify through any distributor — everything qualifies. You do not need to re-record, re-upload masters, or move your distribution.
Upload or import your catalog. For each song, type who worked on it and their share — they get an email and tap Agree. That’s the same split sheet the industry scribbles on paper, done in one minute. Your song is now “clean-papered” — which is exactly what buyers pay for.
You decide where each song can earn: videos, businesses, film & TV, samples, AI — each one a switch with your price floor. Off by default. Nothing happens to a song without your yes. Streaming keeps running exactly as it does today. Video, podcast, and sample licenses are perpetual for that use; film/TV/ad sync grants carry fixed terms (1–3 years, renewable) with territory and media scope, and AI is time-limited — the way each of those markets already works.
A buyer licenses your song → the money splits to everyone on the song, instantly — you, your producer, your co-writer. No statements, no 6-month royalty maze, no chasing anyone. A sale, settled like a sale.
A filmmaker wants your song. Here is every hand that request passes through today — and what the same moment looks like when the papers were cleared the day you listed.
Typical sync clearance: 2 weeks – 6 months · royalties trail for 6–18 months
License completed: minutes · everyone on the song paid: the same second
Non-exclusive, always. Listing here locks you out of nothing — keep your distributor, your PRO, your publishing deal, your Bandcamp. The Exchange is another place your songs earn, not a contract that owns them.
Every switch is reversible. Turn a use off tomorrow and it’s off. AI licensing is off until you say otherwise — and it stays off forever if that’s your answer.
Your masters are yours. Before, during, after. Same promise as our distribution, in writing.
Every one of these buyers exists today and pays these prices today — to catalogs that mostly aren’t yours. Yet.
Buyers pay for certainty. The cleaner your song’s papers, the higher it ranks, the more it earns. No shelf requires special software — the top one just pays best.
You typed the names, everyone tapped agree, you warranted it’s original. Takes ten minutes, works for any song ever made. Your catalog is live and licensable.
We scan for duplicates, cross-check your release history and credits. You do nothing — it happens automatically, and buyers see the checkmark.
Drop in your project file and stems — from any DAW, Logic, Ableton, FL, anything — and your song carries proof a human made it. In a world drowning in AI tracks, sync buyers and brands pay a premium for exactly this.
No. Non-exclusive means non-exclusive. Keep DistroKid, keep CD Baby, keep anything. (Ours is $36/yr with 0% cuts if you ever want it — but the shelf doesn’t care.)
Nothing to list. We keep a small cut of each license sale (single digits) — we only make money when you do.
Keep them. Exchange licenses are direct deals for uses your PRO isn’t collecting on anyway. Your performance royalties keep flowing as before.
Fine. Shelf 1 needs only your word and your collaborators’ signatures. Stems only matter if you want the Certified badge.
No. Every license is scoped to the switch you turned on, at or above your floor, with a receipt both sides keep.
Existing licenses stand for their term (buyers need that certainty); no new ones sell. Off means off, from that second.
Most don’t — video, podcast, and stems are perpetual for that use. Film, TV, and ad sync run on fixed terms (1–3 years) with renewals and territory/media scope, the way sync always has; AI training is time-limited and revocable. The term is stated on every receipt.
