Royalty Free Music: The Benefits Of Using This Type Of License

When one uses music, it must be paid for in a license

. However if the usual method of payment, where a charge is made every time that piece is played, is proving to be too difficult to manage and too many are reneging on payment, then a royalty-free sale is usually the way forward. Payment is initiated by a one-off cost for an individual track. The cost can vary depending on the song but it can be as little as $100 but substantially more for higher quality tracks but once purchased it can be used indefinitely.

The benefits of purchasing this kind of license are unlimited usage for a one-time fee giving you the chance to use it again and again. So where do those who purchase such royalty free music actually put it once they have purchased it? The media in which they might use that music are in video games. You know those annoying little tunes that play over and over when you child is on the Xbox? Music can be used so that it will be placed for your company "On Hold" system. Yes, it is hard to believe that some of those annoying little tunes you hear when the operator sticks you on hold are, or could be, royalty free music.

It is not always so perplexing however. The music I heard during the Euro 2012 soccer Championships, held in Poland and the Ukraine, on the United Kingdom television channel, Independent Television (itv) was a small piece from Santana called, Everything Is Coming Our Way. The song was no doubt chosen after a number of soccer-related events of fortuitous luck that had blessed the England team in the championships so far. Santana's 1974 hit was the perfect song with lyrics that matched the mood in the England camp. Here was a classic example of how a television company would have purchased royalty-free music rights and then broadcast to the whole nation while we watched a header by England striker Wayne Rooney hit the back of the net.

Royalty free music is often used in PowerPoint presentations and in Flash and Web streams. It gives your presentation that extra quality of sound even if it is just a simple piece of music. Background music is often played in sterile work places to motivate and calm production line staff and soothing royalty free music is played in some mental institutions.
