[Fmpro] song placement vs score

[Jo Ann White/OGC]

Thanks for the info, Phil. It's greatly appreciated. I am totally clueless 
when it comes to knowing what I should do. Would you mind telling me exactly 
what i need to do to become a member BMI OR ASCAP? What steps do I need to 
take? I've had all my music copyrighted.
And where do I start in finding the proper match for what I have to offer?
