How many units should I select? How many units should I select? The number of units selected determines the royalty amount paid to the songwriters/music publishers. For physical CDs, select the number of CDs/Vinyl you are manufacturing/duplicating.
For digital, ringtone, and interactive streaming, use prior sales history as a gauge (most artists without a sales history select 25-200 units to start).
If you sell more than you licensed, you can simply renew the license (think of Limelight similar to a pre-paid calling card). The re-license fee is half the original license fee.
