[Fmpro] 1331 isn't 1337

[Robert Stanton]

Hi Pete - How are you finding this ascap data?  I'd like to check on myself
(I think I'm covered though since ascap sends confirmation emails which I've
received for registering).  Oh and congratulations on getting into the
forum's notable quotes - very funny come back yesterday!
Best-

Chris,

I hope I'm not asking the obvious, but have you registered all your songs?
Your ASCAP ACE listing shows 0 songs.

Pete
