Moker, thank you for answering. Yes, I think I just haven't generated enough to make a dent, however the lack of communication from BMI is the real issue.

As far as fees, yes I understand ASCAP is free. BMI charged about $25 in set up fees for the individual songwriter affiliation and I think it was over $100 for my publishing company. The figures could be different now but that is what I remember. Anyway, for $100 + I expect someone to at least answer my emails about royalty questions. When I first signed up they were great. They would answer any question, call, fax, whatever. The communication black out I am describing is just within the last 6 months.
