The scoop
The Audio Library in YouTube Studio has free music and sound effects that won't get Content ID claims. You can filter by genre, mood, duration and whether attribution is needed, and new tracks are added twice a month.
Some tracks use a Creative Commons license, so you must credit the artist in your description. YouTube Partners can monetize videos that use Audio Library tracks.
How to claim it
- 1
Sign in to YouTube Studio and select Audio library from the left menu.
- 2
Filter by Attribution not required if you don't want to add credits.
- 3
Download the MP3 and add it in your editor.
Who qualifies
- Anyone with a YouTube channel
- Credit Creative Commons tracks in your description
