Record Label/Music Publisher Research
It’s difficult to know what tracks and/or songs are available for you to use under your licenses. We built a solution that connects tracks to your record label and music publisher licenses so that you know what is available for you to use. We can also help to identify the tracks you want to use that are unavailable under your licenses and provide a report of unlicensed labels and music publishers.
Learn moreMusic Licensing
Smart Music Licensing
We create targeted licensing outreach based on the labels and/or publishers that own or control the tracks that you want to use. This streamlines music licensing for all types of music services and is more cost effective than sending license requests to companies whose music may not fit your product or service – we call this the licensing “road map”.

“There is an unmatched level of trust from the broad industry about Keith Bernstein and his team.”
Partnering with Crunch Digital made a lot of sense for many reasons. First, copyright administration and reporting aren’t part of our core business or expertise, nor they should be; we are music-based app developer. Second, the team at Crunch boasts a very wide and hands-on expertise and skill set that are hard to come by from a single shop. That’s definitely a big bonus point for a startup. Last, but certainly not least, there is an unmatched level of trust from the broad industry about Keith Bernstein and his team, which allows for faster and smoother deal making with the music industry. For all those reasons, Crunch Digital services are really a no-brainer when you have a fast and tight go-to-market strategy and you understand that cutting corners with intellectual properties is just not a sustainable or responsible way to conduct business in entertainment.
