We’re Background Sounds and we supply royalty-free music to all types of businesses across the UK. In this post, we’re going to answer the top questions on royalty-free music so you can make an informed decision on if it’s a good alternative to the music licence for your business.
What Is Royalty-Free Music?
It’s music you can play in your business without buying a PRS PPL Music Licence. This is because the artists (copyright holders) do not have their royalties collected by PRS and PPL. Instead, they’re paid by a music licensing agency.
Artists choose to do this because a licensing company provides more ways to monetise their work such as background music for adverts, video games, and podcasts.
Is Royalty-Free Music Free to Use?
No, the term royalty-free means free of royalty, not free of charge. It’s a type of music licensing that does not need the PRS and PPL to collect royalties for the copyright holder. There is still a charge to use royalty-free music but it’s substantially lower than paying PRS PPL making it a fantastic alternative to the music licence.
