Authored by Mark Hefflinger on October 21, 2005 - 7:40am.
San Francisco - Wired News reported on Friday on Pump Audio, a New York-based company that pre-licenses songs from independent artists, and provides them to TV production companies for use in commercials and TV shows. The company provides a hard drive filled with some 11,000 songs, categorized by genre, instrument and lyrical theme. Since January, Pump has placed more than 14,000 songs, on productions ranging from episodes of MTV's "The Osbournes" and HBO's "Real Sex," to a commercial for Portuguese bank CGD. These customers pay Pump Audio a flat fee per episode, which the company then spits evenly with the artist whose music was selected.
