You are never going to make a TON of money with 22 songs regardless of which library you put them in. So to really not "put all your eggs in one basket" you need a lot more eggs and spread them out over more companies.

The key to music licensing is VOLUME (and I don't mean loudness)!!! I think Dr Bill said he has over 500 songs out there in circulation and he's starting to see a decent return now. The company I work at has over 20,000 and grows by a few hundred EVERY THREE MONTHS!!!

Look at your 22 songs as 22 shares. Sure that's great... but 22 shares of any stock isn't going to make you a ton of money. And if you would say to any broker, "I want to buy 22 shares of stock, but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, so how should I diversify my 22 shares?" The broker is going to ask, "uh, did you say TWENTY TWO? ...Call me back when you are talking about 22,000 or maybe 220,000..."
