Where to Get FREE MUSIC for Podcast Intros | Royalty Free [2023]

[@Buzzsprout]

Where do you find music for your podcast?

[@gabrielabatres]

This video is super helpful! The licensing is so confusing and it would be helpful if you made a video about what it means when you're choosing a song for your podcast. #Buzzsprout

[@ASHA1995GCCT]

The major negative with epidemic sound or artist etc is you have to pay an annual subscription. You only need to use one track for a podcast. I went with premium beats to find my music. You buy the track and all the right. A one time purchase and no annual automatic renewal fees. The library is incredible

[@Buzzsprout]

Will look into that! Thanks for this suggestion! Appreciate you watching our video.

[@cliquemediaproductions]

Yeah I too use PremiumBeat for music tracks. Very good quality music, extensive library and you can download loops, full tracks, and stems to mix up your beat.

[@KKONG9000]

Thanks fam 🎯💯

[@ProducerDanUSA]

There is an art to matching audio with images, I agree. Very helpful presentation.

[@Buzzsprout]

I'm glad it helped you, Dan!

[@tiffanyodean]

This was a great video. I am looking to finally add intro music to my podcast. I had no idea I could use the music from the KZbin Library for my podcast.

[@Buzzsprout]

Yes, you can! 🤗 Let us know how it goes with your show. Thanks for watching, TIffany!

[@ProducerDanUSA]

Hi, Tiffany. Did you have success with adding some audio to your intro?

I just put some music from KZbin on an instagram story and it was blocked 🚫 so I'm guessing they only want you using their music inside of KZbin ... so couldn't that also be a problem with podcasts? I'm surprised you say it's OK in your video but, I don't know much about it ... I'm just mad my IG story won't work 🤷‍♀️

[@ProducerDanUSA]

@ hi. was the audio meant for a post in IG?

[@Toyed1987]

Dude where is your mic? How do you sound so good and clear through my AirPods

[@maiaestheticlife]

Thank you! This was great info!

[@Buzzsprout]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@playlistswithneilo5844]

Are you sure the tracks you listed are free for Podcast use ? For example, I see that Summer Street costs $79.99 to buy the song and Buckbreak cannot be used for commercial purposes (if I am monetizing my podcast).

[@xavierangulo841]

My question about the music is how could I add it while recording do I need to buy a mixer to add it into the mixer and that how it works I just started my podcast a year ago, I am new to this

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there, Xavier! Adding music to your podcast can be done either by adding music in your post-production using editing software like Audacity and Garageband, or by using a mixer while you're recording. It’s all about finding what works best for you. Feel free to check this step-by-step guide on how to edit your podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/blog/how-to-edit-a-podcast Should you have other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email us at [e-mail].

[@MichielvanPoelgeest]

Thanks for making this video. A great resource. However, I think it's kind of ridonculous that you skipped passed the idea of hiring someone (i.e. a musician, composer or 'friend who knows something about music') to make something for your podcast that is unique, personal and tailored to your podcast. Why would you not want that? Sure, money is always an issue, but does that mean you should assume that music should be free? Would you make a podcast for someone free of charge? If the answer is yes, then perhaps your music guy might feel the same way. If your answer is no, then why would you think music is something that ought to be 'free'?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi, Michiel! You make a great point. We're not opposed to that idea at all! It just happened to be that when we created this video, the goal was to answer the burning question that we constantly get asked, "Where can I find free music for my podcast?" I do love that you shared this in the comments to inspire ideas for people who may have a friend that they may be able to hire to write a unique and personal jingle for their podcast - it's a wonderful concept and collaboration among two individuals!

[@MichielvanPoelgeest]

​@@Buzzsprout Thanks. Just something to think about: just because you don't have to pay for it, doesn't mean it's free.

[@ProducerDanUSA]

Of course the composers make something from the sites where they upload music, just not as much as from doing custom work.

[@MichielvanPoelgeest]

@@ProducerDanUSA never have I ever. Although I’m sure there are ones that do. But any musician or composer worth his salt should refrain from ever being that lazy. It’s like ‘hiring’ Google translate to do your voice overs :)

[@quirkworks4076]

I also use Uppbeat and Purple Planet, and both are great and free (with paid options).

[@Buzzsprout]

Great to know! Adding that to my list to look at. Thanks for sharing!

[@RobertQvist]

Wow, 'Cantina Rag' feels WAY to close to a copy+paste to the Cantina Song not to get flagged for copyright strikes

[@melaniemelin]

thank you, I got it figured out with some help.

[@MrPeterhendrick]

Congrats for your video. I just want to know if I can use the music from youtube studio to make a podcast in spotify

[@HereForWisdom]

This was a fantastic video. Thank you sir

[@Buzzsprout]

Glad to be of help, Austin! Thanks for checking in!

[@nanthiriwinOfficial]

I started making soft recently, I was wondering if you wanna do any features.

[@hanafarag6398]

Thanks alot for the video, just a quick question, if I find any Copywrite free music on YT, is it fine to put it on Spotify?

[@muhammadawaisbba-m7043]

how do i create a sequence?

[@melaniemelin]

I can't figure out how to make the download into a file to add to Audacity.

[@smrtzttspanishenglishtutor67]

The video starts at 5:40. When would youtubers understand to simplify information?

[@divine2788]

Thanks for tutorial, I love your videos, they are really HQ...

[@Buzzsprout]

You are welcome! I'm glad you love our videos.

[@andresconchamaurelia2804]

Wait, but the recording of classic music is copyrighted. Not the piece itself, but the recording. I don't think you can use that for free.

[@dubbdotvee]

Hi Buzzsprout, could you please confirm that you can actually use music from KZbin Studio for a podcast that won't be posted on KZbin? In my case it would be on Buzzsprout only till eligible to have on iTunes, Spotify etc

[@Buzzsprout]

Yes, you can use music from the KZbin Audio Library in your podcast even if you're not posting the podcast on KZbin! Check the terms for each track you use in case they require attribution.

[@CathaEdulius]

I wonder if cover music is ok? like completely covered from the ground up?

[@Buzzsprout]

As long as it's a safe music to use for your podcast, it wouldn't be a problem.

[@digitaliproductions]

If by cover music, you men your buddy's band performing Pink Floyd, then no, it is absolutely not okay. The music and lyrics are covered by copyright and simply having someone else perform it doesn't matter. Cover bands are supposed to pay royalties when publicly performing a copyrighted work. It gets even more complicated. While Beethoven may be in the public domain, a 1964 recording of Beethoven by the London Symphony Orchestra is protected by a copyright on the recording itself, so that requires licensing. But if you hire a chamber orchestra to play it for you, then you could record that and use it. Copyright applies to the lyrics (as poetry), the music (as a composition) and recordings of performances. Many of these overlap which is what makes sourcing music outside of a licensing service so difficult.

[@CathaEdulius]

@@digitaliproductions say a metal cover of a song from pokemon that doesn't have lyrics and such would that be considered enough of a transformation to avoid copyright?

[@digitaliproductions]

@@CathaEdulius Nope. Derivative works are still governed by copyright. Now, copyright enforcement is on the copyright holder, and so you might get away with it, if Bandai never notices your podcast. But if they do then you have no defense. The least they could do is tell you to stop using it and likely require you edit it out of any previous casts. At worst they can compel you (and your metal band) to pay back royalties and possibly additional damages. If they catch you. You might also consider that there are sniffer bots out there that are designed to recognize tunes and pull the content. I had an Indiana Jones parody piece removed on KZbin some years ago for using a clip of the music from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Parody has generally been considered a "fair use" of copyright, but the bots will just take you off the air.

[@CathaEdulius]

@@digitaliproductions interesting good to know thank you!

[@smrtzttspanishenglishtutor67]

This guy kills me with hiS comment on 8:00. He is WIDELY RIGHT!

[@kyliebell8625]

Can we cut the free royalty music from incompetech even if we still mention him?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hey there! Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we can look into this for you!

[@greatpariscars]

He identifies where you can find free music at 5:38. You're welcome.

[@joyevasco3268]

video and try that on your own DAW. Be patient. It's not so complicated.
