APM Music
A major production-music licensing company representing numerous specialist libraries. APM licenses music into film, television, advertising, sports and digital media, but its individual libraries make the composer-selection decisions.

- Watch out
- Submitting does not guarantee acceptance; APM acts as licensing agent while its individual libraries control hiring and repertoire decisions.
