Mechanical license is paid for the use of the songs on CDs, tapes, etc. 9.1 per song per unit, performance royalties are paid to the copyright holder by radio, TV, etc for the use of songs (airplay) , then there is synchronization license for use in movies, TV etc.

The only Performance License as far as I know is the license that venues pay to the PRO'S for live music played in the venue for cover songs registered with the PRO'S.
The PRO'S use some formula to come up with a fee for the venue.
A Mechanical License is what is issued to a Recod Label/Artist for a stated number of pressings of a CD, etc.
The Artist/Label pays the mechanical license fee to the copyright owner(s) of a song when a song is released for public sale.
