Why in-house teams use Audiocrowd
Platform libraries are often not enough
Business setups are often restricted—and platform libraries are typically limited to that platform. For cross-posting, websites and campaigns you need clear, documented usage rights.
Compliance & approvals without headaches
Marketing needs speed, but also safety. With license PDFs and a clear licensing model you can get internal approvals faster—without constant back-and-forth.
No “subscription trap” for archives & evergreen content
Product videos, employer branding, recaps: content lives long. With Audiocrowd, projects published during the subscription remain licensed permanently—even after cancellation.
Additional PRO & GEMA safety for the German market
In Germany, the so-called GEMA presumption applies: music usage is generally considered subject to fees unless proven otherwise. Many international “royalty-free” offers are not designed for this system, which can lead to uncertainty without track-specific PRO information.
Direct collaboration with composers
We work directly with the composers of our music – not via anonymous aggregators or third-party catalogs. Each composer must explicitly declare for every single track whether the work is registered with a performing rights organization (e.g. GEMA, BMI, SOCAN) or intended to be registered in the future.
Track-specific PRO status instead of generic claims
These track-specific composer declarations provide reliable information on the PRO status of each individual work. Unlike many international “royalty free” models, Audiocrowd does not rely on generic catalog-wide assurances.
Regular repertoire checks (GEMA, BMI, SOCAN)
As a German provider, we are familiar with GEMA practices and international repertoire representation. We therefore regularly check our tracks against repertoire databases such as GEMA, BMI and SOCAN to detect registrations early and further reduce the risk of unexpected fees in the German market.
Higher security for companies & teams
By combining direct composer declarations with ongoing repertoire checks, we provide a level of safety specifically tailored to companies and in-house teams in the German market.
Note: repertoire databases may be subject to update delays. Our processes significantly increase safety but do not constitute legal advice.
