Why I dislike the term “Royalty Free Music”? The three most popular phrases used to describe the offerings of music production libraries like UniqueTracks are: Royalty free music, Stock music, and Buy-out music. Of the three, the most accurate, to me, is stock music because it implies a collection of media that is immediately available to be used in production creation. However, the phrase most often used to describe our services is royalty free music.
