MusicForProductions.com, a Website that aims to improve the process of sourcing and licensing music for productions while offering a variety of music, officially launches this week.

The Toronto-based company offers key improvements such as “mouse-over” music previews with Flash technology; a highly developed search engine; “best of” collections and the use of Canadian flags to denote Canadian composers. In addition, the company offers both a song catalogue with songs from indie artists, bands and labels, as well as production music libraries.

Other MFP features include: a content management application allowing music to be saved in a project folder or shared with others via e-mail; an advanced search engine with an “in the style” feature, making it possible to find music that is similar to a well-known artist or band. Music For Production clients can also search for music by title, description, keyword, genre, sub-genre, instrument or composer.

MFP clients can preview, download and license music from their computer 24 hours a day. Registered clients can try music in their productions by downloading .WAV (16-bit/44 kHz) or MP3 (320kbps) files at no charge. Music can be licensed by completing an application on-line, which Music For Productions approves.
