We can custom make a disc with your own original tune or a licensed/copyrighted tune to play in a disc player. In some instances copyright permission may be higher than the usual (already factored in) which will increase your cost somewhat. This factor is unknown until applied for. We will contact you if the additional cost is over 20%
These discs can play up to 30 bars of a song.

If you don't already own a DISC PLAYER music box, you can purchase one from us. There is a large library of discs available that can play on these players. Not only would you have your own song but the ability to own all the other discs as well.

We can make just one disc at a time - there is no minimum.

Obtaining Music Rights

If the song you wish to put in your custom music box is your own composition, you need only send us a simple fax or letter with a short statement saying you are the author of the work, that we have your permission, and your signature.

If the song you wish to use was written by someone else, such as a popular tune played on the air, we will need to obtain permission from the publisher to mechanically reproduce it as a music box disk. This permission is called a synchronization (aka merchandising or novelty) rights license. To obtain this license, We will contact the publisher (or author in some cases) to get that signed permission. We make a quick search of the three major performing rights organizations to see which one handles that song, do a song search for the contact info for that artist/publisher on their website, and contact the artist/publisher for permission. Depending on the tune, the publisher and time spent on legal issues, there would be an additional charge.
Occasionally there may be an additional licensing fee and we will notify you before we proceed.
If you have the permission, then just fax a signed copy to us.
