USE ROYALTY FREE MUSIC TO SPICE UP YOUR PROJECTS!
When you're creating content, whether it be recording a rap song for Soundcloud or making a YouTube video, you want to use high quality music for the backing track. Many content creators wonder where they can find music that is safe to use in their YouTube videos. Likewise, many rappers wonder where they can find beats to make a rap song and keep 100% of the profit from its streaming revenue.
Thanks to the rise of digital audio workstations, there is no shortage of great music on the internet. But when it comes to what music you can use in your project specifically, you need to be cautious. If you use music that that is copyrighted or not licensed properly, you run the risk of having your content demonetized. And in many cases, it could even be deleted from the platform entirely.
For most content creators, the best answer is free royalty free music. Ideally, the music would have no fees at all associated with it, yet would still be high quality and modern-sounding.
At FreeBeats.io, we have both high-quality MP3 and WAV files that sound great and will enhance your content. Download and use our royalty free music for videos, podcasts and more! We have a broad library of music on offer, with several different genres to choose from.
You don't have to pay any fees to use the high-quality 320kbps MP3 files of our songs. They are completely free to download and use for your projects, and the quality is good enough to use for Soundcloud recordings, YouTube videos, etc.
If you need high-quality files such as tracked-out WAVs, we charge a one-time processing fee of $4.95 per song. This “Upgrade Package” also comes with a signed agreement stipulating your rights to use the music.
Non-Exclusive Royalty-Free Licensing
The music on our website is available under a non-exclusive royalty-free license.
Non-exclusive means that you are not the only one who is allowed to use the music that you download. It is a library of music that content creators from around the globe can use for their projects.
Artists shouldn’t feel limited by the fact that someone else may have used the song before. If the song is a good fit for your project, use it and don’t think twice about it! There are so many different ways to use our music that you're unlikely to see someone using it in the same way you do.
REMEMBER: We retain 100% ownership of our music; you have a license to use it.
🛑 Restrictions 🛑
The only restriction that we put in place on our royalty free music is YouTube Content ID.

If you are caught doing either of these things, you lose all rights to use our music.
We will file a takedown complaint with YouTube and have your music removed from the platform.

There's classical, country and western, pop, heavy metal, soul, electronica and more. The music comes from creators who sell their samples on the site. You can listen to and download a sample, but be aware, they are HEAVILY tagged.

PremiumBeat is owned by Shutterstock. The site allows you to search their music by genre, mood, instrument and keyword. The tracks are helpfully tagged with different descriptors, and they tell you which instruments are used. You can listen before you buy and choose between a standard ($49) or premium ($199) license. The standard license can be used for things such as "internet videos, corporate videos, and all non-commercially distributed projects, including up to 1,000 units of a project intended to generate revenue to you", and can be used for unlimited projects worldwide. The premium license is for advertising use for a single project in a single territory, and includes unlimited worldwide distribution for projects intended to generate revenue for you.
