    Default LOML - Music on my website - Licence

    I have finally decided to place music clips on my website.

    Does anyone else do this and what licence do you have?

    I am just looking into it. I think this may be the licence for me.
    Limited Online Music Licence (LOML)
    Not sure what Band to apply for. Will have to contact them.

    I generally do showcases for people to come and hear me... but I only have 2 more free weekends this year so music on my website will be the easiest option.

    Hi Lee,
    I've considered this but decided it really doesn't add anything to my service.

    I've contacted PRS before (for adding music to Wedding Video), and they were very helpful.
    To do this legally should not be too expensive.

    Are you thinking of recording sections of a typical evening, or simply playing music (ie a list of songs)?

    Hi Jason
    I have just been in the studio and recorded some samples. They are now on my website.
    A licence for music on my website will be cheaper than doing and promoting showcases.
    Just taken a booking this afternoon from someone hearing them so it looks like it is a worthy investment.

    Default Done

    Just bought a LOLM licence for less than £140.
    It would have been half the price if I could have used <30sec audio clips.
    In case anyone else is doing this. The licence I got was a PRS General Entertainment - Permenant Download Service licence Band A.

    Thanks. It is not even costing 0.5% of income for that licence.
    The total now for music and licences per year is around 9% of income and that is a small price to pay for the benefits of such a rewarding job.

    Having spoken to a lawyer before uploading demo mixes to my website, my understanding was that as long as it was only for promotional use and your are not re-selling copyrighted music, you can host DJ sets for clients to listen to. I think I need to re-visit this, it is such a grey area.

    I had several email discussions with PRSformusic before buying the licence. They assured me that was the one I needed to buy I my case.
    I have sent them another email (without mentioning any names) asking for clarification of your statement.
    All the best. Lee
