Can I upload your music to streaming services?

Our music is only licensed for the uses listed above and not meant to be redistributed to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, or an other similar music platform.

Sound packs are the exception. You're free to use any of our sound packs, purchased or free, in any project, however you choose.

Can I upload your music to my YouTube channel?

Yes. To clarify, you can upload as background music but it must include some form of voiceover or narration. For example, a guided meditation, podcast, or a how-to video. The music can also be faded and cut to fit as background music to visual media or film soundtrack.

The only thing you cannot do is upload and publish in a music-only context (music video). This is not permitted and may cause a copyright strike on your channel.

I'm just starting out. Can I get a discount?

Yes, if you are just starting on your new venture, are a student filmmaker, or less than 10% of your income is from your project/business, you can qualify for a first time discount.

Contact us and share a link and the details about your project. We review each entry separately.

You can also take advantage of our current promotions and free offerings, royalty-free licensing included.

What is royalty-free music?

In simple terms, royalty-free music is licensed to the buyer with a one-time upfront payment. There are no further payments required and this license is in perpetuity.

In cases where the music you are licensing has been registered with a performing rights organization (i.e. ASCAP or BMI), you may be required to pay royalties to the PRO if you use the music for radio or TV.

Is your music available anywhere else?

No. All of the music listed on Jaapi is exclusive to our catalog and can only be licensed here. This allows us to carefully curate and produce an original and unique catalog for our clients. It also ensures that we can offer a competitive and consistent pricing structure across our entire catalog.

What is your refund policy?

Products are immediately available for download after purchase. Therefore, all sales are final to help eliminate fraud. If you run into an issue with your download, please let us know so we can resolve it. If you are unsure if a particular song is going to work for your project, please request a sample before purchasing. Thank you for understanding.

How do I find the perfect music for my project?

Each piece of music is tagged by mood, length, price, theme, instrument, or any other unique feature that we think would help make your search and discovery easier. From all collection pages, search results, and the main catalog page, use the "Filter" option to quickly dial in on the music that fits your specific needs. If you can't find what you're looking for, please let us know so we can suggest something or add to our queue for future releases.

Who is Jaapi Media?

Jaapi Media was founded in December 2022 by Phil Strickland (Music Composer, Entrepreneur, and Army Veteran). He initially launched the site to offer royalty-free access to the tracks released under his independent label, Light Journey Music. 

Our initial catalog consists of Phil's earlier works featuring meditative soundscapes that embody the spirit of inner peace, forgiveness, self-introspection, healing, unconditional love, and a deep connection to all things. Releases that can all be found under the Anaamaly music project.

Jaapi also curates over 20 playlists on Spotify with 100+ hours of good vibes ranging from ambient, lofi, meditation, sleep, yoga, and relaxation. Learn more about our mission here.

If you have any other questions, please refer our licensing agreement or contact us.
