What “royalty-free music” means

Royalty-free describes a licensing model. You obtain permission to use music for defined purposes, without paying a new licensing fee each time the covered project is played or viewed.

At TSM, that means there are no additional TSM licensing fees simply because someone watches or plays your licensed project again within its approved uses. Your selected license or subscription determines the coverage, project requirements and applicable fees.

The music remains protected by copyright. Your license gives you permission to use it in specific ways, including any conditions for client work, advertising, monetization or distribution.

Royalty-free licensing describes how you can use the music. It doesn’t define the quality of the music. TSM brings that licensing convenience to world-class songs and soundtracks selected by people who care deeply about music.

How royalty-free music relates to stock music

“Stock music” generally refers to existing music made available for licensing. “Royalty-free” describes the terms under which that music may be used. The terms often overlap, but neither tells you how a song will sound or how it will make your audience feel.

At TSM, the music comes first. We connect you with authentic songs and performances, then make it straightforward to license them for your work.

Choose single-song licensing or a subscription

Single-song licensing is a convenient option when you’ve found the perfect track for a project or need music occasionally. Choose a song, select the license that matches your intended use and download your licensed music.

Music licensing subscriptions are designed for ongoing creative work. Your TSM subscription provides access to 60,000+ curated songs and soundtracks, plus 375,000+ professional sound effects, to power an unlimited number of creative projects covered by your plan during your active subscription.

Subscriptions support a steady flow of content, from client videos and social posts to business communications and podcast productions. Each project must meet your selected plan’s licensing requirements, including any requirements for registration, completion, publication or delivery.
