What is Royalty-free Music?

Royalty Free Music is a type of music licensing that allows the purchaser to pay for the music license of a copyrighted material only once without the need to pay royalties or any other recurring fees for the continued use of the same material.

It is usually limited to one project/video, so if a customer needs to use the same material in a completely different project, they have to buy a new music license.

The term “Royalty Free” is quite confusing for many reasons. In fact, it simply means “Free of Royalty”, not cost free. (as in other cases, when you see the expression "Tax Free", you would understand that it’s free of taxes, not cost free).
The term “Royalty Free Music” is the opposite of the “Rights Managed Music” licensing where the purchaser pays royalties according to the number of times it will be used as well as the size of the territory. With Rights Managed licensing you would need to pay a fee every time the music is used.
