I have signed a few hundred songs just from emailing companies and asking to submit material. Why would I go through Taxi to license music?Honestly, most music libraries themselves do not know how to effectively pitch their catalogs. Most libraries, whether non-exclusive or exclusive, will help most composers make over a few hundred dollars.Giving up the publishers share for placements is a thing of the past. A mediocre artist with 100 or more songs and a good hustle can market their own catalog directly to TV stations and film companies. Making 100% of the money is better than 50%. Most people don't even get half anymore.Follow the money. The rest is easy. Taxi is a waste of money. I have signed a few hundred songs just from emailing companies and asking to submit material.

After being a member for a year and getting a few forwards I asked the question. "What percentage of Taxi members actually get a deal?"I hear a lot of the success stories but I thought it was a pertinent question and the answer would help me make a decision about renewing. Nobody ever got back to me with an answer.I've been a professional musician for many years and have made a few deals through other means and see the value of a company like Taxi. But, perhaps it's not for everyone. It very much depends upon what genre you are writing for and how good you are at producing a professional sounding recording. Demo quality in general doesn't work.

You should not do this! If you truly want to defend your business, honesty is the best policy. As a copywriter myself, I know the temptation to deliver just the right words in just the right way, but you have to be careful. And when your back is against the wall, as it is here, speak from the heart, not from your agency or pool of freelance writers. Oh, if you do call in the pros, say so! One last thing: this comment of yours reads exactly like all the ads you run and emails you send and while this approach might be working for you, it no longer works for me. Just my two cents, nothing against you guys.Jeff www.cerebellumblues.com Note to Taxi:
