FAQ - License free music

What is license-free music?

Besides the term Royalty free music, which is explained in more detail on the home page, is also often used by many music archive providers with the wording License free music advertised. This means, mutatis mutandis, that no license (right of use) has to be acquired for the use of a piece of music - neither from the author, a publisher, nor from any collecting society.

This may be the case in exceptional circumstances, when a composer (author) has his or her free MP3 music for private use (for example, as background music for a wedding video, photo show or slide show). However, commercial uses are usually excluded from thise.g. the use of music in image or product videos, TV, advertising, cinema or computer games. For the use of music in commercial projects, the purchase of an appropriate license is recommended in any case to be legally protected.


What content can I use online on YouTube for free?

YouTube itself offers an audio library that contains a large selection of free music tracks that you can use in your own YouTube videos without violating copyright. These music tracks are license-free and can therefore be used without the permission of the rights holders. On TerraSound.com you can find 50 license-free songs, which you are allowed to use free of charge if you comply with the conditions (see above).


Where can I download license-free music for free?

There are several websites where you can find license-free songs. However, it's important to note that some websites may have certain restrictions on the use of the tracks, such as the indication of the author or the lack of editing rights. Therefore, make sure you read the terms of use and license agreements carefully before downloading and using a track.


Which songs are license-FREE?

There are many songs that are license-FREE and can be used in various projects without any legal problems. However, it is important to understand that the terms "license-FREE" and "copyright-free" do not mean the same thing. Some types of songs that are usually license-FREE include:

  • Classical music: Works by composers who have been dead for a long time, such as Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, are first free of copyright. However, the respective PLAYING of these works may be subject to licensing and fees again.
  • Traditional folk music: Music pieces that are part of the folk music and culture of a country can usually be used without a license.
  • Music without copyright: There are also pieces of music that were never copyrighted because they were created by artists who had no interest in copyrights or because they were created before copyright laws were introduced.
  • Music with Creative Commons license: Some artists choose a Creative Commons license for their tracks, which allows others to use their content as long as they comply with the terms of the license.

Is license-free music automatically copyright-free?

The wording "license-FREE" is actually a bit misleading, as it is quickly equated with "copyright-FREE". However, this is not the case in Germany, where copyright cannot be transferred.

To be sure not to violate any copyright, you should always contact the author (musician, artist, composer) directly and ask whether the use of their works (music, photos, lyrics) is okay.
