The Master Use License (Compilation) is used when one record company wants to use a master recording owned by a different record company for a compilation record on its own label. This license would also be used by a film or television producer who wishes to include a recording of a song on a soundtrack compilation album associated with the film or television show. The agreement can be altered to be used as a general master use license any time someone wanted to use a master recording in a non-audiovisual work such as in a radio advertisement. For permission to use the song on the compilation album the label would have to obtain a mechanical license from the owner of the song (songwriter or publisher). For use of a master recording in an audiovisual work then you would use the Master Use License (Audiovisual Work).
