Royalty-Free Music Explained
"Royalty-free" means you pay a one-time license fee and can use the music without paying ongoing royalties for each use.
What It Means
- One-time payment for a lifetime license
- No per-use fees or royalties
- Use the music in as many projects as your license allows
What It Doesn't Mean
- It doesn't mean the music is free
- It doesn't mean there are no usage restrictions — each license has specific terms
- It doesn't transfer copyright — the creator retains ownership
