Song files for public performance
<p>Once I've paid a Performing Rights Organization (eg. ASCAP) for a public performance license, how do I obtain the actual music files? Do the licensing companies provide them, or do I need to purchase them from a music retailer? Can I use a streaming service like Spotify? The FAQs on the licensing sites are unclear about this.</p>

<p>I would make contact the organization you have in mind, but in general the license only expands the rights you already have when you acquire a work of music.</p>
