Epidemic Sound
Epidemic Sound is a subscription library of music and sound effects for people who make videos, podcasts and adverts. The Stockholm company, founded in 2009, licenses its tracks directly to subscribers, so a finished video can go out on YouTube or elsewhere without chasing separate rights. Plans run month to month, and the library is available straight after signing up.

About Epidemic Sound
How the licence works
Rather than buying a licence for each song, subscribers pay one fee that covers every track and effect in the library. The company holds all the rights to its catalogue and sits outside the performing rights organisations, so creators shouldn't face unexpected copyright claims or extra fees. Anything published while a subscription is running stays cleared after cancelling. Crediting the artist is welcome but optional.
Who uses it
YouTubers, filmmakers, podcasters, agencies and broadcasters all draw on the same library. Businesses get separate options, including music for shops and larger enterprise accounts. Tracks are sorted by genre, mood and theme, and there are tools for searching by video or finding songs that sound like one already chosen. Integrations with DaVinci Resolve Studio and Adobe Creative Cloud bring the library into editing software, while the iOS and Android apps handle browsing away from a desk.
Paying and cancelling
Monthly plans carry no long-term contract, so stopping is simple. Visa, Mastercard and PayPal are accepted. Subscribers who refer other creators can earn rewards through the Community Program. Questions go to the support team at [email protected].
