GBShady business - stay away They trick you into paying for a month, but it turns out they lock you into paying monthly for the whole year. There is nothing you can do as a consumer - shady business! On top of that, you can't cancel until 1 month before the renewal..they are making sure people keep paying even if they don't use the product. I paid > $300 for a couple of tracks I used for 1 video.

CAThis is my first time licensing music… This is my first time licensing music through anything, and Musicbed has, so far, made it an extremely easy and pleasant experience. I had a bit of a mix-up in terms of what subscription I needed for my license, and while it took me a few days to get on top of it, the CS reps were extremely helpful and there were no contentions or issues over the state of the subscription when I had to cancel one and transfer my licenses over to another. The CS reps were personable and polite and, despite delays in the service and a few inconvenient things about the website itself, I never felt like I was speaking to a robot or trying to contend with some sort of language barrier. I would suggest, however, a clearer means of adding subscriptions to your account via your profile on the website. I had to go around the front-end of the site to make a new subscription after hunting through my profile for an option to do so. It was also a little stressful when the Musicbed site said I could cancel my subscription from my profile but there was no option to do so. I suppose you have to contact them directly to do so? I wish that had been more clear, as well. Other than that? I will continue to use this service gladly. The cost is reasonable, the assortment and quality of music is very good and so far the CS has been satisfactory. I recommend using Musicbed for licensing if you're just starting out.

GBI'm a 36 year old filmmaker and music… I'm a 36 year old filmmaker and music has been a part of life since I was five. It is essential that my stories have quality music that properly drives them and moves an audience. I can 100% say that MusicBed was a complete game changer for my productions and continues to be today. I have also used a lot of other companies for music, and MusicBed proved to have the track selections I was looking for many times over. The artists they find and work with are incredibly talented and at times I literally just sit and listen to music on MusicBed to spark ideas and gain inspiration for my next story. I have been using them for music for over four years now and highly recommend them!

AUFeels like scam You can't call it MONTHLY subscription if the customer can't terminate it after a few months of use. The company still forces me to pay for the whole year even if I canceled and don't hesitate to call it a monthly subscription, this is ridiculous. As a cheery on top - they claimed that the first month is free, but actually, you'll still make 12 payments for a year in total, they'll just move your subscription date one month forward to cover for the first "free" month. Never seen such dirty practices and sketchy morale anywhere except scam companies.

CAMusicbed is my secret weapon. Musicbed is our first and only choice for music licensing. Our company has been a client of Musicbed.com for over 12 years and we consider them to be an extended part of our production team. The roster of musicians they represent is highly and expertly curated. You simply can’t find lousy music on this site. The care and attention to detail they demonstrate for not only their filmmaker clients, but also their artists is clear. Many of their employees have been with them long-term which speaks volumes about their leadership. They work extremely hard to provide a service to both the film and music communities where everyone is happy. While no company is perfect, I have seen Musicbed time and time again carefully and considerately respond to any bump in the road that may come up. This ultimately means we’re able to serve our clients with excellence. I left this review to share a professional’s opinion which I hope you will weigh in contrast to some other reviews which I’ve read and found to be generally the result of signing up for something without reading what you’re signing up for. I disagree with the sentiment shared by a few users of TrustPilot here who have claimed Musicbed to be an awful company. It’s simply not true. Thank you for the work you do, Musicbed.
