A few comments....
Yeah, the LA convention is free with your membership... 2 tickets. However, in my case, it was around a thousand dollars for airfare and hotel and food.
NSAI also has a similar event in Nashville. The tickets are not free.... a couple hundred bucks and, you still gotta get there and have a place to stay and eat. I was getting set up to go to one of those as well but the costs were still near a thousand dollars and I was planning to drive the 500 miles. I never did go to that one.
Once you get signed with someone..... that person may not call you back or send you the new listings they have, so, theoretically, you would want to keep membership to pick up those listings.
Yes, there are several libraries who use TAXI members exclusively. 100% of their listing requests go to and through TAXI and they do not accept any submissions of songs from any other place. One of these just happens to be the guy "catherder" who has or had (at that time) a lock on several of the biggest daytime TV shows on the air. He was using just over 100 TAXI members with a handful of those getting 90% of the placements in those shows.
