Question 1

Why not just use TikTok's trending sounds?

Accepted Answer

Trending sounds are licensed for personal entertainment use, not for business or branded content — which is why TikTok limits business accounts to a separate commercial library. SoundMarket tracks are licensed to you directly, so your videos don't depend on that distinction.

Question 2

Can I use the music on a business or branded account?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your own accounts and content are covered under your plan. Producing TikToks for clients is Professional-tier work, and paid brand advertising at scale needs Enterprise.

Question 3

What happens if I cross-post to YouTube Shorts?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

Can I edit the tracks to fit 15 or 30 seconds?

Accepted Answer

Yes — downloads are yours to cut, loop, and layer in any editor. Professional also includes ready-made 15/30/60-second cuts on nearly all tracks.

Question 5

Do I need a paid plan?

Accepted Answer

The free plan includes 10 MP3 downloads a month. Paid plans add unlimited downloads, 24-bit WAV files, and automatic YouTube claim clearing on channels you add.
