How do I download music?

After your registration you can download an MP3 preview of a song directly from the homepage. After logging in, click on the symbol to the right of the play button, to the left of the heart symbol ("favorites" symbol). After purchasing a license you will automatically receive the download links to the final audio file (MP3/WAV/AIF) without watermarking via email.

Which license is right for me?

The right license depends on the type of usage. In many cases of moving images (image film, corporate film) the category "editorial videos" is appropriate. However, this type of use is not suitable for advertising purposes. Advertising is usually used when the clip is part of a campaign, i. e. it is actively used and distributed on the Internet, PoS or TV/cinema for product advertising ("paid advertising"). Also, advertising videos are usually not editorial. In case of doubt, please contact us by mail (license@sonicliberty.com) or phone (06131-9208997). You will also find more detailed information in the General Terms and Conditions.
