Songfile is a simple and fast way to obtain mechanical licenses for a limited number of physical recordings (CDs, cassettes and vinyl only) made and distributed in the U.S., as well as Ringtones, Permanent Digital Downloads (“PDDs”) of singles, and Interactive Streams (often referred to as “on demand streams”). In HFA’s systems digital downloads are referred to as configuration “SP”, ringtones are referred to as “RT” and Interactive Streams are referred to as “IS”.

If you are distributing more than 2,500 units of physical product or downloads please set up an HFA Licensing Account. Information on how to do this can be found here. Songfile may only be used to license up to 10,000 individual interactive streams. In addition, you must not be distributing interactive streams in a manner that falls under one of the service offerings defined in 37 CF
