Licensing for royalty free music comes with a one time upfront payment, with no further payment required and the license valid forever (in perpetuity).

However, if the music you’re licensing is registered with a performing rights organization (PRO) such as ASCAP or BMI, you may need to pay royalties to the PRO if the music is used in radio or TV broadcasts. If the music is not registered with a PRO, you won’t have to pay royalties.

All music on Jaapi is exclusively available on our catalog and cannot be licensed from anyone. By being exclusive, we are able to carefully curate and produce an original and unique selection for our clients. Additionally, it guarantees that we sustain a competitive and consistent price structure on our whole catalog.

We are a download only company, which means: All sales are final to prevent fraud since our music is available for immediate download after purchase. If there are any problems with your download we would love to hear from you so we can get this sorted for you.

If you're not sure if a certain song will work for your project, please request a sample before purchasing.

We tag each track in our catalog for mood, length, price, theme, instrument, and more so your search is fast and easy. The Filter (found on collection pages) allows you to search by criteria like mood, duration or price to quickly narrow down on the perfect track for your project. Whether you are looking for uplifting music or something to be more ambient, our filters help you to discover the sound you want.

And we’ve also built over 60 collections to help you further define the music for an even greater selection of music. If you can’t find it, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll happily suggest something, or add it to our queue for a future release.

The download will include WAV and MP3 formats so you can use high quality audio for everything you’re working on.

We don’t require it, but we do appreciate when proper credits are given to the artist. If you choose to, please credit the production with the artist’s name, track name, and if licensed by Jaapi Media.
