"Blanket License" is a license which allows the music user to perform any or all songs in the 1000TRACKS.COM repertory as much or as little as they like. Licensees pay an annual fee for the license. The blanket license saves music users the paperwork, trouble and expense of finding and negotiating licenses with all of the copyright owners of the works that might be used during a year and helps prevent the user from even inadvertently infringing on the copyrights of 1000TRACKS.COM's members and the many foreign writers whose music is licensed by 1000TRACKS.COM in the U.S.

A "Per Program License" is similar to the blanket license in that it authorizes a radio or television broadcaster to use all the works in the 1000TRACKS.COM repertory. However, the license is designed to cover use of 1000TRACKS.COM's music in a specific radio or television programs, requiring that the user keep track of all music used. Also, the user must be certain to obtain rights for all the music used in programs not covered by the license. Needledrop Licensee pays per use of each uninterrupted playback of any portion of one piece of music obtained from 1000TRACKS.COM's catalog.
