Don't waste time on your playlists I've been using Sound Stripe for a few years. The music for my type of projects is great. However, there's been a few times that I noticed my playlists were getting smaller... I would spend hours finding music for different types of projects only to come on a couple months later to see that the songs were now missing. I asked customer support if they were aware of this and they couldn't tell me straight up that they do "archive" songs so they disappear. Instead, they asked me a couple times to provide them songs so they could research this... First off, that could take several hours on my end because I do a few thousand video edits a year and subscribe to a few copyright free libraries. Secondly, its a simple yes or no answer now that I know the answer. I went back and forth with the support for about 10 minutes. Every video editor knows how many hours it can take to find good music and to find out they are "archiving" songs over time without letting us know is really annoying. The fact they wasted my time to get a response is also annoying. They said they'd pass the conversation to management, but I doubt it.

all good until I decided to… all good until I decided to unsubscribe, then payments just keep being taken .... when I complain they say they didn't get the unsubscribe which can only be done on the page & refuse to refund..... CAUTION!!!

Not what they advertise Not free They advertise free soundtracks, then take your info and charge you. Worse, apparently they sell your info because I'm suddenly getting spam emails.

Good value, but generic results The pricing is good, and the audio quality is very consistently high. The music is all very similar, using the same instrumentation and recording/production style, software instruments etc. A lot of the composition is very generic, although at least it's modern and usable professionally. The interface is nice, but the search options don't feel like they're turning up the best results. It tends to feel like it finds whatever is newest and most generic rather what is most appropriate to what I need. It takes a long time to sort through oodles of similar sounding tracks. I would prefer a search algorithm that prioritizes variety.

Perfect tool for the videographer/editor Cost is reasonable. Variety is awesome. Layout is perfect. As a videographer/editor who has worked on projects from weddings to real estate, church promotions and a good deal of nonprofit work, SoundStripe is perfect for what I do. I'm on year two of my subscription and love having this tool in my back pocket.
