Its Search and License feature allows users to search through all the songs in EMI’s online catalogs and request a licensing quote on the spot.

These advanced searches produce highly detailed results, featuring sound clips, lyrics, label copy, hit year and discography.

Other Search and License features include:

Song Search: Where music users can search the entire EMI song database or limit their search to top songs only. Searches can be performed by song title, artist, writer, hit year, album, record label, film and show.

Lyric Search: Where users can search for ideas and emotions using key words or phrases.

License Request Forms: Where users can initiate the licensing process and retrieve a quote online. Once the process is in motion, users can log on to track the progress of each request.
