Membership for Unlimited Music on Yummy Sounds

What does my Yummy Sounds Membership include?

With our license subscription, you will have instant access to our entire catalog of music. You can use this music in any private or commercial video production for usages like described on our license page.

Example: If you are buying the Standard License to use the music in your podcast, you can use the music in all your episode, make branded content on social media to advertise your podcast and so on. As long as the project topic stays “your podcast”, then you are good to go.

With the Membership you can even start new projects and still be covered, if the different projects each have a budget under 2000$.

If the project you are working on has a project budget of over 2000$, you will need a Premium License.

How long is my license valid?

Any song you download on Yummy Sounds can be used in your project in perpetuity – meaning we will never ask for additional fees in the future. Nor will the song be removed from circulation. Once you download a song, it’s available to you forever, and you are licensed to use it in your project forever. Our license terms and prices are subject to possible changes in the future, but remain intact for your aquired license. 

Does my license cover a client who hires me for a video project?

Yes! If you are hired to produce a film for a client, for their personal or commercial use, your license covers that usage. So when you deliver the video production to them, you can transfer ownership of the finished video without them needing to buy a separate music license. Then they can use that video for their own applications and purposes in the terms of the license you bought.

The client, however, cannot use the music by itself apart from the overall project you were hired to create it for. If they like the music, and they want to use it for another project, then they’ll have to get another license.

Does my license cover my employees/collaborators?
If a business entity subscribes, then any of your employees may access and use the music in your company’s own projects. If an individual employee or contractor is working on a private project outside of your company’s usage, they would need to have their own individual license. If you’re not sure if this applies to you, drop us a quick line at yummy@yummy-sounds.com.
Is the music royalty-free?
Yes. Yummy Sounds music is always royalty-free. That means there are no additional fees to use the music after you purchase a subscription or an individual music license. 
Do we need to credit the musicians or Yummy Sounds?
That is completely up to you. Of course, we always appreciate credit being given to the artists for their great work – they’re a pretty amazing bunch! But artist attribution is not a requirement of using our music.
Can I transfer my license?
Sorry, but no. All licenses and subscriptions on Yummy Sounds are non-transferrable. Our subscribers are personal license holders for our material, and that cannot be transferred. And while your license does cover video projects that you produce on behalf of a client, the client is not licensed to use the music files apart from the video project you were hired to create. 
Is there a download limit?
To help prevent the abuse of our site’s resources and to ensure that the content is available to all of our subscribers when they want it, we have set up an automatic monthly download limit of 50 tracks. However, if you wish to download more music just contact customer support at yummy@yummy-sounds.com and we will gladly increase your download limit. No extra cost.
How soon do I receive the music I license from Yummy Sounds?

Within minutes! As soon as your transaction has been processed, you will immediately be redirected to your download page, where your files will be ready for you. Additionally, we will automatically send a link to the email address you’ve provided. If you did not receive the download instructions by email, please check your “Junk” or “Spam” folder – it may have landed there. If you are a Yummy Sounds member and have a user account, you can also retrieve the download from your account page.

Does the music I buy belong to me?
No. The copyright to the music remains the property of the composer. Purchasing a license only allows you to use the music for your projects and purposes in accordance with the license agreement.
