2. How much does it cost to use your music?
The APM rate schedule is available from an APM Account Executive. The fees outlined in the schedule are based on the type of production, the specific rights needed for the production and the number of times music is used. These fees reflect charges on a per-project basis. For clients anticipating a high volume of music usage with APM, we suggest that you review your projected music needs with your APM Account Executive so that we may custom tailor an annual licensing package for you.
