Royalty Free Music Articles

We've noticed a good deal of confusion surrounding the term "royalty free music" as it applies to music licensing and using background music in your media production.

Basically, a royalty free music license bundles a song's "synchronization rights" (the right to use the music composition in your production) and its "master-use rights" (the right to use the specific recording in your production) into one legal agreement so you can quickly and legally add it as background music in your media production.

The articles below discuss royalty free music licensing in further detail.
