ACE is a database of song titles licensed by ASCAP in the United States. For each title, you can find the names of the songwriters and the names, contact persons, addresses and, in most cases, phone numbers of publishers to contact if you want to use the work. For most of the titles, you'll find some of the artists who have made a commercial recording.

The BMI Repertoire is a BMI song title database, which means that you will only find songs licensed by BMI. In some cases, songwriters may have started their careers with another performing rights organization and affiliated with BMI sometime later, or may have affilated with BMI at the start, and then with another organization sometime later. In either case, the songwriter's songs may or may not have followed the songwriter. As such, BMI may license songs for songwriters who are not currently affiliated.
