New to music licences? Unsure about how much a music licence costs? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Welcome to Audio Network’s music licence cost guide – a space where you can discover all of the answers to your questions about the price of music licences.

As you will know by now, a music licence provides the licence holder with certain rights that will allow them to use the music in a way that doesn’t infringe copyright laws.

Naturally, the type of rights one gains upon purchasing a licence depends on the type of licence one obtains.

Some music licences allow the licence holder to play music in a public venue; some music licences allow the licence holder to use music within their creative content; others allow the licence holder to cover a particular song.

Keep reading to learn more about the different types of licences, and how much they’ll set you back.

What Are Typical Music Licensing Fees?

We consider our licence pricing reasonable, so the best advice we can give you when it comes to figuring out typical music licensing fees is to consider our pricing strategy the norm and go from there.

Remember, our music licences provide creatives with high-quality songs produced and composed by some of the world’s greatest musical talents – so, by utilising tracks from our catalogue, you’re getting huge bang for your buck.

How Do You Determine the Price of a Music Licence?

You will only be able to determine the price of the music licence you require once you’re confident about the rights you need to acquire to make use of the music you’re interested in using.

Naturally, the price a television production company pays for a music licence to employ a soundtrack filled with recognisable songs will be far greater than the price a vlogger pays to use a background music track in their next video.

What Music Can I Play Without a Licence in the UK?

Unless you’re listening to music for nothing more than personal pleasure, you must possess a music licence to play music in the UK.

This goes for shopkeepers, stadium owners and everyone in-between. And although many believe there to be licence-free music out there in the world, there really isn’t such a thing. Even royalty-free music requires a licence, even if that licence is – on occasion – free.

How Much Does It Cost to Licence Music for an Ad?

When looking for music for advertising, you’ll swiftly realise that it costs a lot more to licence a popular track to incorporate into your commercial than a background song that audience members have never heard before.

Therefore, it’s common for advertisers to opt for the latter type of track – the kind that can be purchased right here at Audio Network.
