How it Works

Step 1: Find the right music for your production

Find the tracks you need quickly and efficiently. There are several ways to search the Stockmusic.net site:

• Option 1: On the index page you will find many collections and libraries, with names such as "Dance Club Party" or "The Classical Edge", with brief descriptions beside each. We have tried to group music with certain themes so that you will lots of certain types of music all in one place. Click on the collection or library to open a page containing the tracks.
• Option 2: Enter any descriptive word into the Stockmusic.net search engine (located below the Stockmusic.net logo at the top left of the screen). You can use mood words such as "sentimental" or "happy", instrument names such as "piano" or "guitar", or genres such as "punk" or "reggae". You can type in multiple words to narrow down your search, such as "funky guitar". You can also search for any other name or descriptive term. For example typing "Mozart" or "Bach" will return tracks from those composers.
• Option 3: Scan down the list of common search terms along the left hand side of the site. Often customers will see a word that conveys the type of music they have in their mind. Click on the search word to display your results.

You will find a play/ stop button beside each track which you can use to listen to the track. You can bookmark the track(s) for later use, email bookmarks to colleagues or clients, or "add to cart" to if you want to license and download the track immediately.

Step 2: Checkout

After you have found the tracks or collection of music you like, click on the "add to cart" button. If you are a new user you will be prompted to log in, and if you are a returning customer you will be prompted to enter your user name (email address) and password. After you have logged in, check to see that the correct items have been added to your cart and the correct license is selected, or continue shopping to add more music to your cart.

Step 3: Licensing

When you "add to cart" at checkout you will automatically get our blanket "media producer" license, unless you have added something from the "on hold" or "retail/ restaurant" sections. At Stockmusic.net we have 2 licenses available:

1. The blanket "media producer license" covers any usage in which you, the purchaser are combining the music with graphics, video, or sound elements to create any product/ production that is clear and distinct from the music itself. This includes content for tv, film, web, multimedia, podcasting, radio shows, embedding in video games and most other applications. This is the default license when you purchase music from Stockmusic.net.
2. The "public performance license" allows use of the music for on hold/ background music, music in an office, restaurant, retail environments, institutions or other public places. This option is available at checkout when you purchase music from the "on hold" or "retail/ restaurant" sections of the site.
3. Custom licensing is available for projects that do not fit either of the above categories. Some examples of custom licensing would be: a) if you want to duplicate one of the collections at Stockmusic.net and give it away as a gifts to employees at Christmas, b) you want to create a relaxation CD and give it away as part of a spa retreat package, c) you are creating a website, or hardware device which will allow your customers to download or access free music tracks, d) you want to broadcast the music on its own (not as a part of a unique production). Please contact us for more information.

Step 4: Payment and Downloading Music

After you have logged in, simply click "proceed to checkout". You will be sent to a secure payment page where you can pay by Mastercard, VISA, AMEX, Discovery, or by using your Paypal account. After your payment click "return to merchant's website", or simply go back to your "My Stockmusic" account and your tracks will be available for instant download in your choice of MP3 (320KBPS), Wave, or AIFF formats.

If you lose the tracks in the future (your hard drive gets wiped out)... no problem. Simply log into your account and the tracks will be available for download.

We hope our music enhances all of your creative endeavors!
