Production music libraries are a hot topic these days as folks are looking for a ways to earn extra cash. Emerging music composers as well as music for picture industry veterans can benefit from submitting music to production music libraries.

This is the first of an extended series about production music libraries.

Do you compose instrumental tracks that could be used in film, television, video games, or other media? Looking for a super-easy way to place your compositions in these outlets? There are quite a few production music libraries out there that provide stock music to producers of TV and films. Many of them openly accept applications and music submissions from all artists. The chances of being accepted into one or several libraries are far greater than attempting to license your tracks directly to HBO, Paramount, or EA Sports. And it pays!
