4 licensing options for my website's audio content

When selecting audio content for your website, it's essential to choose the right license to comply with copyright laws. Here are the main options available 💡

✅ Royalty-Free Music

This license lets you use music with a one-time payment instead of ongoing royalties. Platforms like Soundstripe and Epidemic Sound offer extensive royalty-free libraries.

This is a great option for those who want to avoid ongoing costs and have a wide variety of music to choose from.

✅ Creative Commons

These free-to-use licenses require following the creator's specified terms. You can find Creative Commons music on Free Music Archive and CCMixter.

Be sure to check the specific terms of each license, as they can vary from allowing commercial use to requiring attribution.

✅ Public Domain

These works are free from copyright restrictions and can be used without limitations. Musopen specializes in public domain music.

This is ideal for those who want to use classical or older music without worrying about copyright issues.

✅ Custom Licenses

For specific needs like exclusive rights, artists and companies can create tailored licensing agreements.

This option is best for those who need unique or exclusive content that isn't available through other licensing options.

TL ; DR

Your choice will depend on your project's needs and budget. Feel free to ask us for more specific guidance!
