Mechanical license gives you the right to record and to legally sell other peoples' songs. You must apply and receive this license for each song you want to sell and pay the royalty fee for each song. If you desire to sell copy written material we will apply for the license for you. There is a one time application fee of $20. We collect copyright fees for each disc ordered. The $20 application fee and copyright fee must be sent with your initial order.
The cost for mechanical license is $37.75 per song.
This allows you to produce 500 copies in cd, cassette or lp formats. If
you want to produce only 100 copies the fee is still 37.75/song.
Here is a breakdown of your costs for 10 songs per disc:
