Music Licensing

Find out all the music licensing options available at PlayOnLoop

PlayOnLoop offers two simple royalty-free music licensing options to choose between, depending on your needs and the kind of production you wish to use our music for: Regular and Extended. In both cases, you obtain a single-user license to use the music in perpetuity, paying a one-time fee only. Check the table below for a detailed comparison between licenses. 

Please note: all the short music loops and all the sound effects you can download for free from PlayOnLoop, are not licensed on a Royalty-free basis. They are released under a Creative Commons Attribution license instead.
