Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. Production music libraries amalgamate popular music from famous artists that is chopped into small pieces for reuse within other audio-visual works. 2.

Even today, production music library content is considered low quality and is not licensed for use in major audio-visual works. 4. Well-known and accomplished musicians hardly ever work for production music libraries whose musicians are almost entirely an isolated subset of music talent.
