*Please note (Regarding PRO/CMO affiliation): Since this video was posted, Songtrust has removed the capability to apply to PROs or CMOs directly through your Songtrust account. If you are still interested in applying to become a member of a PRO or CMO, you will need to proceed with this step independently of Songtrust and apply directly on the collection society’s website. Please note that you must be a member of a PRO or CMO to work with Songtrust.

To help make this process as seamless as possible, we have created a Collection Society Database that includes the PROs or CMOs in each country and territory with their corresponding information. https://songtr.st/447SpUX
