[Fmpro] ACE 2 1331 isn't 1337

[LesHurdle]

What can I expect to find on ACE?

ACE is a database of song titles licensed by ASCAP in the United  
States. For each title, you can find the names of the songwriters and  
the names, contact persons, addresses and, in most cases, phone  
numbers of publishers to contact if you want to use the work. For  
most of the titles, you'll find some of the artists who have made a  
commercial recording.

and then...................................................

I'm an ASCAP member, and I have a record of having registered my  
songs. Why can't I find all my titles on ACE?

Currently the ACE database is derived from ASCAP's performed works  
title database, i.e., a database of titles that have appeared in one  
of ASCAP's domestic performance surveys. As ASCAP's new registration  
format is rolled out, more and more registered works will appear on  
ACE. (For more information please refer to our ACE disclaimer.) Rest  
assured that, even though your title is not listed on ACE, it is  
stored in ASCAP's internal datafiles. Information on songs that have  
not yet appeared in ASCAP's surveys can be obtained from the ASCAP  
Clearance Representatives at 212-621-6160.



While we know it isn't correct........ many instrumental compositions  
are listed on ACE......... please note from above



 >>>>>>ACE is a database of song titles licensed by ASCAP in the  
United States.<<<<<<<<<<
