Royalty free music
Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROY : Royalty free music
Royalty-free music commonly refers to stock or 'library music' licensed for a single fee, without the need to pay any subsequent royalties.
How it works
There are many applications for which music must be licensed but the traditional payment structure (in which a royalty is charged for each usage) would be cumbersome or more costly. Royalty-free music libraries address this by offering music that can be purchased for (in most cases) a one-time fee and then be used by the purchaser as many times as needed.For example: If a piece of royalty-free music was purchased to be used on a multimedia CD project, it would not matter if one CD or 100,000 CDs were produced - the purchase fee would be exactly the same.
Precise details of the payment structure vary from library to library, as specified in a license agreement.
