Question 1

Is the music really royalty-free for podcasts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SoundMarket is subscription-licensed: you pay a plan price and use tracks under your plan's terms — no per-episode fees and no royalties owed for covered uses, on every podcast platform.

Question 2

Can I use the same intro music across all my episodes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your license covers your show's episodes while you hold an active plan, and episodes you published with proper licensing stay covered if you later cancel.

Question 3

What happens on YouTube versions of my podcast?

Accepted Answer

SoundMarket music is real, licensed music, so YouTube's Content ID may identify it. Claims never strike your channel and your video stays live. On Creator Plus and higher, add your channel and claims clear automatically — you keep 100% of the video's ad revenue.

Question 4

Do I need a paid plan?

Accepted Answer

The free plan includes 10 MP3 downloads per month — enough to score a show while you grow. Paid plans add 24-bit WAV files, unlimited downloads, and automatic YouTube claim clearing on channels you add.

Question 5

Can I produce podcasts for clients with this music?

Accepted Answer

Client work needs Professional. Creator Plus covers your own shows and channels; Professional covers freelance and client productions and adds 15/30/60-second cuts and stems on nearly all tracks.
