Finding the songs with right genre, mood, tempo, and emotional influence can be time consuming. After finding good music candidates, getting clearance licenses can involve multiple negotiations. The budgets are are also decreasing requiring lower licensing costs. To solve this challenge, Crumbs Music Media has created a pre-cleared music licensing service along with tools to help find existing songs and produce custom scores at lower costs.
