Background music for video Stock music

Royalty-free describes intellectual property that can be used without having to pay royalties. Once a one-time fee is paid for a royalty-free license, the buyer is free to use it without having to pay recurring fees to the intellectual property owner.

While a royalty-free license gives a person the right to use it, the intellectual property still belongs to the original owner. Anyone who buys a royalty-free license is entitled to use the same content. In other words, royalty-free content is not exclusive.

However, there are many perks of using royalty-free content. A buyer does not need to attribute the owner and each content can be used as many times as desired in as many projects as possible.

Stock music can be spliced, edited and looped as far as their terms of use allow, to fit seamlessly with any audiovisual project. They are often used as background music for videos to liven up the mood, evoke specific emotions and create moods as desired by the video producer. Stock music can also be used as filler music in podcasts at the beginning and between segments and to provide a complete audio experience.
