🚀 Getting started

What is Songfindr, and how does it work?

Songfindr is where creators license original, copyright-cleared music for their projects - videos, podcasts, films, games and ads. Every track comes from a real artist, with the rights cleared, so you can use it without copyright worries. How it works Find a track, try it free, then license it: 1. Search for, or describe, the sound you need, and preview any track. 2. Download a free watermarked version to test it in your edit. 3. When it fits, license the track and download the clean files to use commercially. Ways to pay You can license a track as a one-time purchase, on a subscription, or from a prepaid balance - whichever suits how often you license.

🚀 Getting started

Creating an account and signing in

A free account lets you save tracks, download watermarked previews, and license music. Creating one takes a moment. How to sign in - Continue with Google - A magic link sent to your email - Email and password (with a Forgot password reset if you need it) A quick captcha may appear to confirm you are human. Use the same email every time so your licenses and invoices stay in one account. My magic-link email did not arrive Check your spam folder, give it a minute, and request a new one - the most recent link is the one that works. Why you pick an account type The first time you sign in, you choose an account type (creator, filmmaker, game developer, agency, and so on). This just helps Songfindr show licensing that fits how you work - you can still license any track. Related - What is Songfindr, and how does it work? - How do I find the right track?

⬇️ After you license

What am I allowed to do with a licensed track?

Each license grants a specific usage scope - where and how you are allowed to use the track. Your scope depends on the tier The tier you buy sets what is covered, for example the type of project and how widely it is distributed. You accept the license agreement when you buy, and the exact scope is shown at purchase and written in your license document, so you can always check what you are cleared to do. If your use grows Tracks are cleared for the uses your license covers, so you can publish with confidence. If your use grows beyond your tier - a wider campaign, broadcast, or exclusivity - move up a tier or request a custom quote. Related - How do I get an invoice or receipt? - Can I get a refund?

🔎 Searching the catalog

How do I find the right track for my project?

Tell Songfindr what you need in plain language, or match the sound you already have in mind. Search in plain language Type what you are scoring - a genre, a mood, or the scene itself, like "lofi beats", "music for a car chase" or "science fiction game". You can also browse by artist, song, release, or playlist, and check Trending Searches for a starting point. Match the sound with Music Match When words are hard, use Music Match: describe the sound, point to a reference track, or upload an audio file to find tracks in the same style. See Using Music Match. Narrow it down Filter by genre, mood, BPM, key and more to move from a broad idea to a shortlist, and preview any track in full before you license it.

📄 Licensing music

Which license do I need, and how much does it cost?

The license you need depends on how you will use the track, and pricing follows the same logic. Pick by how you will use it The price depends on where the track runs, not on who you are. Each rung includes the one before it: - Personal - your own channels and podcasts, monetization included. No client or brand work. - Digital - client and brand work delivered online: social, video, podcasts, websites, and paid digital ads. - Expanded - everything in Digital, plus the physical world: shop and venue screens, out-of-home, events and film festivals. - All-Media - everything in Digital, plus broadcast: TV, radio, OTT and cinema. - Business - the Digital scope plus your organisation's own events: its trade-show booths, conferences and product launches. A client's event needs Expanded. Expanded and All-Media are siblings rather than steps: neither contains the other, so a campaign running on billboards and on TV needs both. Games are licensed per registered game title rather than per project - a single track or a five-track pack, covering PC, mobile, browser and console. Current prices are on the Pricing page. Good to know - Non-profits get 20% off Digital and Business. Tick "We're a non-profit" at checkout and give your registered organisation name, country and registration number. The discount applies immediately; we check the register afterwards. - Some uses are quoted individually rather than sold instantly - see I need something the standard licenses don't cover. If you are not sure which tier fits, tell us about your project in the chat and we will point you to the right one.
