Category: FAQ
Could you send me a sample cd of your tracks?
First the bad news: We do not send out sample cds of our royalty-free music. But the good news is: Sample cds wouldn’t be that helpful, as we are expanding the library so often, so CDs could in no way provide the full spectrum our Proud Music Library that is available to you online any time.
Are there any DVDs/CDs with all titles found in the Proud Music Library?
There are no DVDs or CDs containing the compilation of the Proud Music Library. Why? We have an increase of around 40 entries and that our complete content is retrievable for licensing online.
What means “GEMA-freie Musik”?
The term “GEMA-freie Musik” means completely royalty free music. The composer of this music is not registered with a collecting society (ASCAP-free, BMI-free, PRS-free, SUISA-free, AKM-free, TONO-free, SIAE-free). The Proud Music Library contains more than 10,000 completely royalty free music for all media: e.g. web, movie, tv, advertising, on hold.
How many production music tracks does the Proud Music Library contain?
The Proud Music Library increases its number of tracks by 40 to 100 on a near daily basis. The current size of the library can be seen by clicking “search” in the navigation bar at the top of the par and then clicking “search” on the menu button. Next, a list of all available tracks in the library is shown, including the numbers of tracks available completely royalty-free and pro-registered. This way, it is possible to get a good idea of which music titles can be licensed completely royalty free.
Are the online usage rights included in your standard license?
Films underlaid with music licensed under the terms of the standard license, may also be put on the internet. Some examples would be the use of corporate films or product videos on the companies’ homepage. In addition, you may allow access to the film you produced via video platform such as YouTube, Google Video, and so on.. Although, this does not apply to online advertising, rather only to the use as indicated in the standard license. In order to advertise online on your own website, you would need to register for the online advertising license. If you plan to advertise on video-sharing-websites you need an extended licence agreement.
Please contact us regarding this matter by phone: 06132-4308830 or via e-mail.You would then obtain from us all necessary rights for the online usage of music as specified in the standard license. This applies as well explicitly to IPTV, Mobile and IPTV Broadcast, that is to say, the use in Video on demand (VOD) offers.
