SOVLED: Where To Find Truly Free For Commercial Use Music

We produce a lot of content on our various YouTube channels including YouTube.com/@urtechdotca and YouTube.com/@issueslab and we often like to include a backing audio track to just make it more professional. However, we find over and over again that music we have licensed from sites like Jamendo and some musicians directly ends up being flagged on various platforms and we have to prove over and over again that we own or have a right to use this music for commercial purposes. It is very frustrating.

Enter YouTube Audio Library.

If you log into YouTube studio you will notice on the left rail menu there is a link to YouTube AUDIO LIBRARY. If you look through there you will find thousands of songs that may be appropriate for whatever you’re producing and you can definitely use those for free on YouTube. However there are questions like do you need to provide a credit at the end of your video for that music and can you use that music for commercial purposes on other platforms like Instagram or TikTok and this article intends to answer those questions.
