WHAT IS MUSIC LICENSING?
Sounds complicated, and although the basic premise is not, depending on where the music is used, terms and conditions can run the gamut from a simple contract to volumes of legalese terminology. The best basic definitions of music licensing are found on the following links (from How Stuff Works by Marshall Brain).

HOW CAN I LICENSE JGLsongs' MUSIC?
• OPTION 1: directly through JGLsongs
music licensed directly through JGLsongs is priced at the market rate; what JGLsongs can do for you that the licensing sites can't is to deliver the sample in any format you need (.mp3, .wav, .aiff) and at the highest bitrate available. MP3 files are automatically licensed at 320kbs.

• OPTION 2: Freeplay Music

Freeplay Music clients include numerous network and cable stations in the USA.

• OPTION 3: Pump Audio

PumpAudio clients include MTV, NBC Universal, CBS, ABC, BBC, A&E, VH1, Comedy Central, Spike TV, UPN, The Oprah Winfrey Show and numerous corporate clients.

• OPTION 4: My Music Source
music licensed through MyMusicSource - some of the titles will be changed to fit their marketing needs.
The only format MMS can supply is .mp3 - and at 256kbs. NOTE: some titles have been changed on My Music Source (example, Nihongo Desu is called Kyoto Falls; Ecospy is called Shadow Spy, etc.).
