Well, A problem to say the least. You could charge him a one time fee upfront and issue license or licenses and let it go at that. The licenses would have a limit to number of copies he would be allowed to make. If he makes it big and wants to do more copies he would have to pay for the new licenses.

Hey Everett, When the song is recorded, it should have a ISRC Link .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Recording_CodeFor the artist to receive broadcast royalties ( in all countries except for the US ) the ISRC will be quoted and the writer and publisher will be paid through their PRO. As for a few CD's ? I wouldn't worry about it. It's good promotion and good will for your songs, and for the performer. And besides, the paperwork would generate a negative income stream if you took the hassle component into perspective. cheers, Geoff

I have someone that is interested in recording some of my songs but is not looking at CD sales, just a few to sell at gigs. He is looking at download sales mostly, Itunes,Youtube, etc. How does one license songs in a case like that? No way of knowing how many he will sell. The statutory rate for a compulsory license is what, about 9 cents per sale? Unless he's planning on selling a ton of CDs, downloads, it's not going to amount to much. I have a couple of artists released few of my songs, but with sales only the 5K range, it's only change, so I don't really think about it or care, I'm just happy someone is performing my songs on stages, and getting some airplay once in a while, but that's about it.

Let them go with it after all you can use his or her recordings of your songs, and tell them so its not even worth mentioning a fee He wont sell more that 100 per year if that You can then use the new demos for pitching to bigger fish
One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.
In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
