SourceAudio has raised a round of $1,2 million to expand it's platform that connects buyers and sellers of licensed music. SourceAudio enables musicians, publishers and other rights holders to create a site to make their music available to advertisers, filmmakers and others who license music. The company says it currently hosts 600 catalogs with 5 million tracks from 3,400 music labels.

The seed round was led by Emerson Investment Group. Founded in 2007, SourceAudio charges based on the tracks hosted, starting at $29 each month.
