So, how does it work? When the music tracks you’ve recorded are commercially released and played on Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, Internet radio (e.g. Pandora, Yahoo, Live365.com) and on cable and satellite TV services like Comcast's "Music Choice" and DirecTV, SoundExchange collects a royalty on your behalf to make sure you get the money you’re owed for your music. And SoundExchange has $550,000 in total owed to Sonicbids members!
By signing up for SoundExchange, you’ll be able to track all of your digital performance royalties at all times, so you know exactly how your music is being used and listened to.
To sign up, go to SoundExchange's online registration site and submit the online form. And if you still have questions about how SoundExchange works, you can check out their FAQ.
