FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Registration & Access

Do I need to register to download music?

Yes, a free registration is required for every download. Without an account (Free License), you can only listen to 90-second previews of the tracks on the website. Once logged in, you can access all downloads and use them, according to your chosen license level.

What happens to my access after I cancel my membership?

If you cancel your paid membership your status will automatically be downgraded to the Free License. Please note: Once your active term ends, you lose the permission to download music for new projects, as well as access to the dynamically generated license certificates. But why would you ever cancel? This isn’t a subscription! Pay once – valid for life!

Licensing & Usage

What is the difference between the Free, Basic, and Advanced licenses?

The Free License is for private listening only (no publishing allowed). The Basic License allows usage in your own productions (e.g., social media videos) with mandatory credit to the composer. The Advanced License is designed for comprehensive commercial use (e.g., advertising, public broadcast) and does not require any attribution.

How should I provide credit under the Basic License?

Attribution should be clearly visible in the credits, end titles, or the video description. We recommend the following, very simple format:

Music: Johannes Kaiser-Kaplaner

Additional details (such as album, or track title) are optional but helpful for your audience to identify the music.

Can I continue to use the music even after I cancel my paid membership?

Yes. All tracks downloaded during your active term are permanently licensed to you. You may use these tracks indefinitely for your projects under the terms of your chosen license. The only requirement is, that the download occurred while your license was active. But why would you ever cancel? This isn’t a subscription! Pay once – valid for life!

Is attribution always required?

With the Basic License, attribution is mandatory (see above). Users with an Advanced License are free to use the music even without crediting the author.

Downloads & Tech

Why are the song previews on the website only 90 seconds long?

The playlists on our website are intended for quick browsing and therefore play 90-second previews. The actual downloads always contain the full-length track. You can find the exact duration of the full version in the tracklist located below each playlist.

What file format will I receive?

All music tracks are provided in high-quality MP3 format (320kbps). This ensures excellent sound quality while keeping file sizes manageable for web and video projects.

Is there a download limit?

No. During your active term, you can download as many tracks as you need for your projects.

Payment

Is this a subscription service?

No. We do not use auto-renewing subscriptions. You make a one-time payment for a Lifetime access.

Which payment methods do you accept?

You can pay conveniently via PayPal or bank transfer. Through PayPal, credit card payments are also possible, even if you don’t have a PayPal account.

How do I prove that I have the right to use the music?

For each track (each piece of music) you can download an individual license certificate what is dynamically generated, when you download a track. You can find the links to download these PDF Files in your account (profile).

Our Tip: Always download the certificate immediately when you use a track for a project and store it with your project files. This ensures you have your legal proof ready at all times.

What should I do about a copyright claim (e.g., on YouTube)?

Since we are the sole owners of all rights on this platform, claims are easy to resolve. If a platform disputes your usage, simply submit a copy of your license certificate (PDF). The claim will usually be cleared shortly thereafter. A notice: Don’t forget to download the corresponding license certificate for each piece of music you download and use, and save it along with your project files.

Are ALL the music tracks included in the price? Are there any additional costs?

After you sign up and pay for a Basic or Advanced membership, you can download any music track on this website and use it according to your license.

Production & Quality

How is the music on this website created?

Our music is the result of a symbiosis between formal musical expertise and modern technology.
