Re: Forward vs. placement meaning?
A forward is when the Taxi folks send your track off to a publisher/library for inclusion in their library. A placement is when that library uses it in a film, on air, etc.
Some libraries have music in their catalog that may or may not ever be placed.

Thanks, Vikki, for the reminder to put on my TO-DO LIST.
