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
