What is Royalty-Free Music?
Royalty-Free Music is music that can be used commercially without paying ongoing royalties. Unlike regular commercial music, where every public performance requires payment to copyright bodies, royalty-free music includes all rights in a single license.
How Does It Work?
When you play regular commercial music in your business — whether it's a popular artist — you're required to pay royalties to bodies such as:
These payments can reach $3,000 to $15,000+ per year depending on your business size and type.
With royalty-free business music, you pay a fixed monthly subscription (from $35/month at 4Play), and that's it. No additional payment to anyone.
Why Are Businesses Switching to Royalty-Free Music?
1. Significant Cost Savings
A business paying $79/month to 4Play saves an average of $5,000-$10,000 per year compared to using regular commercial music plus royalty payments.
2. Zero Bureaucracy
No need to report playing hours, fill out forms, or sign agreements with rights organizations. One subscription — everything included.
3. Full Legal Protection
With 4Play, every track in the library is covered by a full commercial license. If anyone from a copyright organization contacts you — we handle it.
4. High-Quality Music
Royalty-free doesn't mean low quality. 4Play has 100K+ tracks from professional artists worldwide, in every genre — from jazz and lounge to electronic and pop.
