Though many of the new entrants follow an open submission stock music approach, other services exist for crowdsourcing original music for commercial purposes. **scoreAscore** is one such service featuring the creation of original music.

Services such as [Audiosocket's Storefront](https://www.hypebot.com/audiosocket-launches-music-licensing-storefront-providing-new-revenue-for-indie-artists/) are being provided by a variety of video and other platforms. They tend to take a music library approach. Though [scoreAscore](http://scoreascore.com/?ref=hypebot.com) does have a music library, its focus is on crowdsourcing original music for specific projects.

Jordan Passman [launched scoreAscore](http://mashable.com/2012/06/07/scoreascore/?ref=hypebot.com) in 2010\. Here's the process:

"The client creates a free account, posts a description for what they want and their desired pay rate. They can also upload a video clip. The submission goes out to the composers who can create something for the client. If the client chooses one they like, they pay through the website — if not, the client is not charged."

With 175 composers it's not an overly crowded landscape and keeps a spec process from becoming an outright contest.

Works that are placed are also [featured via Tumblr](http://scoreascore.tumblr.com/?ref=hypebot.com). They include a variety of web videos, commercials and websides scored by scoreAscore artists or sourced from their music library.
