MewmanWow... very cool. You'll find that once you're "in", that the relationship building is a much easier process, getting more tracks in their library is a little easier because they know you've already met their standards. My only advice... just be yourself, ask questions about things that are unfamiliar to you. Then the next time, you'll have that experience and the process will be that much more comfortable.Congrats!Dave

Thanks again for all your great support. I appreciate your advice Dave and will definitely keep it in mind. For those who haven't been through this process yet, I will say that I am really happy at how at ease my contact person is making me feel. We have exchanged several e-mails already. I had a question about what format they wanted my other tunes in and he quickly replied with an answer (mailed CD). I haven't seen a contract yet, but assume one will be coming after they review the other tunes i'll be sending them. If I'm lucky, they'll be interested in more than just the one that was forwarded to them. Actually, there were three that were forwarded, if I remember correctly. At least one of them caught their attention!Mewman
