I have personally spoken to John Braheny to ask him about the Taxi screening process, how many songs are submitted for listings (400 - 800), how long his shift would be (4 hours), and how many songs he might listen to during that shift (20 - 25), and how many of those songs might make the grade (0 - 1). Mind you, that was 2 or 3 years ago now, perhaps he's getting too busy to do it anymore. Pete & Pat Luboff gave a class at the Rally about the screening process. At Road Rally 2007 I met more than one screener at the Mentor Lunch.

In any case, having what you think is your best song professionally critiqued by John, Jason or Pete & Pat (just go to their websites) will give you a good idea of how it would fair in the Taxi screening process and, in addition, give you a good idea about how well you perceive your own work in terms of commercial viability.
