FAQ

  • Will you be making any music videos for your library?
    Categories: All, Music Licensing
    No. There are a thousand other things on which to spend our resources that much more directly help our clients, content partners and friends meet deadlines and make money with their productions.
  • A track I had in my Favorites and Playlist is gone. What happened to it?
    Categories: All, Music Library
    Very rarely we may need to remove a track from the site. Feel free to contact us for specific information on the removal of a track you might have been interested in.
  • Can I get The License Lab music on CDs?
    Categories: All, Legal
    No. We believe the environmental impact, storage space hassles, and extra expense for everyone involved are no longer worth the effort, and we’ve built our business model on the concept of a continuous stream of new music… no more needing to wait for CDs to be finished, mastered, manufactured, packaged, delivered, imported, and organized.
  • Does The License Lab contain any re-titled songs from bands or indie artists?
    Categories: All, Legal
    No. We believe in the significant benefits for our clients provided by exclusivity in licensed music. We maintain a list of friendly and helpful re-title non-exclusive libraries to whom we regularly refer new customers who may be better suited by the non-exclusive business model… happy to help, just send us an email.
  • Do you accept submissions from new composers?
    Categories: All, Songs & Artists
    We’re always interested in finding new people who are passionate about making music. The best way to see if we’re a good fit is to send us some of your best tracks (2 or 3) via our SoundCloud Dropbox.
  • Does The License Lab offer music on hard drives?
    Categories: All, Production Music

  • How much music does The License Lab release online each year?
