I submitted my Instru/Metal track "Throttle" to a UK based company to be potentially used for video games and advertising. Several months later I was notified by MusicXRay that they had selected my song and I was offered a non-exclusive Licensing Agreement to review. At the cost of $250 I had that agreement looked at by an entertainment lawyer and he found several items and wordings that I should approach with caution. I then sent that review to the UK company and politely asked what they thought about my lawyers suggestions. They were kind enough to respond but really only touched upon two of the dozen or so issues my lawyer has with the agreement. I e-mailed them again and asked point blank (politely) if they would consider implementing his suggestions into their contract or if that was totally out of the question. That was over a week ago and I've gotten no response which doesn't surprise me. It's pretty disappointing that I finally got some interest to do business and it's probably been taken away by paperwork details, not to mention costing me time and money. I hope you are all having better luck licensing your music than I am. Sincerely Mike @LowKeyHobby.com

I have mixed emotions about musicxray. In the beginning, many of my submissions were not being looked at, which I did get a credit towards for another opportunity but as of recent, the system has gotten better and the MIPs are not responding at a faster rate. Also the syncing system to SoundCloud was not efficient but now it is smoother. Even going through all of this, I have still directed multiple artist to here to submit for the opportunities on here. Musicxray is still a site that is still an affordable place where independent artist can reach potential labels, managers, and professional outlets without hassle

It was such awesome news to be picked for airplay. The system you have worked out shows how much work has gone into it. It took a few years, but it worked! The only negative is I haven't heard from the person since being chosen at all. He just said one sentence, that the song would be playing starting 6/30/2020. That left me feeling, 'well, gee, is that all?'. Perhaps, there should be some way you provide to give more feedback after the choice is made. Other than that, I am glad this place is here. Most of the other pay-to-play schemes don't really work for the purpose of making professional connections - this does. Congratulations! Peace & Love & JOY, Mark LaJOIE of Living Waters

Some genuine MIPs who give prompt and sincere feedback. Unfortunately, still a number who rely on the age old, "Not quite what we are looking for" which is disappointing considering the cost per submission. Sadly some have not responded at all, even after 4 months. Had good feedback from a number and now just a waiting game. Useful resource to tap into!

Very nice experience. But (constructive), I don't really see the necessity of imposing the additional fee for the review for each new upload, as this feedback doesn't really happen and is very arbitrary. Probably because of the very specific genre (trailer/soundtrack). So this often blocks me from entering new material, which is a pitty. And I have the feeling that very often these "pittchers" are not real. I had three songs accepted recently but for all there was no follow up at all. The same for this last one: no further response at all ... So this is claimed not being the responsablility og MusicXray, but if these pitchers are fake this will not be good for your reputation either. Nevertheless, many thanks for offering this possibility to non-signed composers.

Great to be chosen for a song in a documentary. "What Did I Used To Be", perfect for a Corona Documentary.

I gave this score because when you submit a song and you don't hear anything else from the producer after they said they like your song or your song has been chosen. Do you sit and wait for 6 months and you still don't hear anything? It's very discouraging, I'm sure that I could take my songs other places that will take my money or give me advice on where to send it. Thanks Fratena

I am going to start listening music and get paid. I am happy because of this opportunity.
