releasing music for licensing

[Tyler <programmer651@comcast.net>]

I know Per Boysen talked about this before, but this is a question about 
licensing. You know those organizations where you 
can submit music for use by Tv and movie producers? I believe Per Boysen 
and many other 
Swedish composers use amgscandinavia.com for this. Since I am a U.S. 
composer, I'd 
prefer the music department of Getty Images. I believe the music 
department of Getty 
Images used to be Pump Audio. I believe it's musicportal.gettyimages.com. 
Is the use of this organization a good idea? Is licensing a good idea for 
up-and-coming instrumental 
somewhat-classical musicians who can electronically produce almost every 
regular instrument sounds and 
some odd ones, and mix them together to sound orchestral? You know, 
writing music for the songfight.org 
competition every so often will get me publicity, but not money. Getting 
on Getty Images Music 
Portal could be something. Another important question; is it okay to 
submit music for licensing AND 
submit the same music to the record company I've been chatting with? As 
in, submit it for licensing 
as well as releasing it as an album through the record label? Or is that 
the label's and/or the 
licensing company's choice, whether I can use them both?
