Yes. The Free Sync License covers monetized creator content on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and similar platforms up to 100,000 cumulative views and 12 months, with a credit to the artist and a link to sync.land in your description. Live streams played through the Sync.Land player have their own terms: each broadcast is counted on its own and there is no time limit. Past the cap you have 30 days to buy a Commercial Sync License, which has no view cap, no time limit and no credit requirement.

The Free Sync License costs nothing. A Commercial Sync License is a one-time fee for each track, at the price the artist sets for its release; the default is $49. Sync.Land keeps 30% of the fee and the artist receives 70%. A custom license is priced for the project, and its split is agreed with the artist for that deal.

Ten reserved uses, listed in the license: television programming, cinema release, advertising over US$25,000 in media spend or on broadcast media, originals for subscription platforms, games with a budget over US$1,000,000, trailers for any of those, resale of the track as music, endorsement or political use, AI training, and exclusivity. Those need a custom license agreed with the artist. There is no checkout for it yet: use the contact form on the track’s page and the artist replies to you directly.

Free Sync is for small-scale creator use: personal, educational, user-generated, podcasts and game jams, with attribution, a view cap and a 12-month term. It also covers live streams played through the Sync.Land player, where each broadcast is counted on its own and there is no time limit. Commercial Sync is a per-project license with no cap, no term and no credit requirement, priced by the artist, for everything except the reserved uses. Both are non-exclusive, and both come with a PDF certificate and a public verification address. The full texts are at Free Sync License and Commercial Sync License.

Yes. Every license has a public verification address at sync.land/wp-json/FML/v1/licenses/<id>/verify, which returns the license type and version, the track, the artist and, where one exists, the on-chain transaction. The license ID is printed on the certificate. No account or key is needed.

The PDF certificate from your account. It names the track, the artist, the license type and version, the date and the license ID, and the public verification address lets the platform confirm it. The on-chain record is not read by YouTube, Meta or TikTok, so the certificate is the document that resolves a claim.

You need a free account, because the license is issued in your name. There is no guest checkout. Payment is by card through Stripe, and the PDF license certificate and the MP3 are in your account as soon as checkout finishes. Free Sync licenses go through the same flow with no charge. You do not need a wallet: a Cardano address is asked for only if you add the optional on-chain record.

Independent artists upload their own catalogue and set their own terms. Each artist confirms at upload that they hold the rights to what they upload, and every track carries its own declaration of how the audio was made.

Licenses are digital and delivered immediately, so they are non-refundable once the files or certificate have been delivered. If you were charged twice, the files never arrived, or you bought the wrong license and have not downloaded it, email info@sync.land within 14 days and we will refund you. A refunded license is revoked and can no longer be used.

The MP3 that plays on the site, and the PDF license certificate, both in your account immediately. If you need the lossless master or stems for a production, use the contact form on the track’s page; the artist replies directly.

Music made partly with generative AI is accepted if you say so when you upload it. Music whose audio was produced entirely by a generator is not accepted, because under current copyright law it has no owner and cannot be licensed.

Every track answers one question at upload: Recorded or performed, Partly generated, or Generated. Partly generated tracks are published and labelled, and a license for one covers only the parts people wrote, performed or arranged; the generated material the artist identifies is not licensed and is not warranted. Tracks marked Generated are not published for licensing.

The artist’s answer is shown on the song page, in catalogue rows and on the album page, and it is written on every license. For a track marked Partly generated, your license covers the parts people wrote, performed or arranged; the generated material the artist identified is not licensed and not warranted. Tracks whose audio was produced entirely by a generator are not offered here.

Yes, marked Partly generated, but the license will not cover that vocal. The composition, lyrics and arrangement you made are licensed; the rendered vocal is generated material, whoever it sounds like, so it is not licensed and not warranted. If you want the whole track covered, record the vocal yourself over your arrangement and upload that version. The same applies to generated instruments and beds.

The artist tells us, and that declaration is a warranty recorded with their account, the date and the statement they confirmed. Every file is also checked when it is uploaded. If a question about a track comes up, licensing on it pauses until the artist confirms how it was made and, where asked, writes down who wrote, performed and owns it; that account goes on the license. Nothing about a question is ever shown publicly.

An artist profile, then a WAV or MP3 for each track, cover art, a title and a release date. One track is enough; a release takes up to twenty. Each track needs an ISRC, or a tick to say you do not have one yet, and your answer to how the audio was created. Every file is checked when it is uploaded: a file that cannot be read or has no sound is held back from licensing until you replace it, and you are told why.

You receive 70% of every Commercial Sync sale. For a custom license, the split is agreed with you for that deal before it is signed. When a track is licensed you get an email showing your share, we get in touch to arrange the payment, and a second email confirms when it has been sent. Free Sync licenses carry no fee, so nothing is paid on them.

No. Every license issued here is non-exclusive. Your music stays yours, you can list it anywhere else, and you can pause or remove a track from licensing at any time from your dashboard. A license already issued stays valid for that project.

Only if you say yes. Before we feature a track of yours on Valt, or mint or issue a token for it, we ask you, and we go ahead only with your yes. Saying no changes nothing else about your account. The on-chain record a buyer can add to a license is separate: it records that license and is not a token of your track.

No. We do not use or license your music to train, fine-tune or build any AI model, to build a dataset, or to imitate anyone’s voice, unless you agree in writing to that specific use. Both of our licenses also forbid buyers from using a track for AI training or dataset licensing.

Prices are set per release. From your dashboard, the Edit Licensing button on a release turns Commercial Sync and Free Sync on or off and sets the price, which applies to every track on that release. Free Sync is on by default. The pencil on a track lets you pause or remove that track and correct your declaration of how it was made.

Music supervisors, game developers and other buyers post a brief describing what they need. Each one is reviewed before it goes on the board. Artists with an account pitch up to three tracks per brief; Sync.Land reviews each pitch and forwards it to the buyer, and you get an email whenever its status changes: forwarded, passed, interested or licensed. There are three open briefs on the board today.

Every brief closes on the deadline shown on it. If a brief closes before a decision reached your pitch, the pitch shows as Brief closed in your dashboard. That is the window closing, not a rejection: your track was not turned down, and it stays in your catalogue for the next brief that fits.

Create a free account and use the form on the briefs board: what the project is, the mood, the deadline and the budget. It costs nothing. Each brief is reviewed before it is posted, and you receive a shortlist of pitches from the catalogue rather than searching it yourself.

Add two things to OBS: the player, where you pick and play music, and the overlay, which shows the song credit on stream. Go to sync.land/stream, copy your player link, and in OBS click Docks, then Custom Browser Docks, paste it and click Apply. Then add the overlay link under Sources, +, Browser, and press Ctrl+F to fit it. The page ticks when the player connects. It takes about two minutes.

The player in OBS is not connected to your account yet. OBS keeps its own settings, separate from your web browser, so connecting in Chrome or Edge does not connect OBS. Copy your player link from sync.land/stream and add it under Docks, Custom Browser Docks, or paste it into the player inside OBS.

It was added as a Source instead of a Dock. Remove that source, then add your player link under Docks, Custom Browser Docks, at the top of OBS. Sources are what viewers see; the player is for you.

Check three things. The overlay source is in the scene you are streaming. It sits above your game or camera in the Sources list. And it fits the screen: select it and press Ctrl+F. The credit only shows while a track is playing.

When the overlay is added, the music plays through it, so first check the overlay is in the scene you are streaming. Then press play and watch the OBS mixer: Desktop Audio, or the overlay’s own fader if you ticked “Control audio via OBS” on it, should move. If neither moves, the player is paused or not connected.

Go to Account, Playlists, give it a name and choose who can see it. New playlists are private unless you choose public. A private playlist is visible only to you and still plays in your player. A public one can be found and opened by anyone, and other people can add it to their own playlists. You can switch between the two at any time on the playlist’s edit screen.

Add songs from the suggestions, by searching, or with the + on any song around the site. Each change saves as you make it, and your player picks it up the next time it loads.

Yes, and no. Open any public playlist and press Add to my playlists. It shows up in your player within a minute, and any changes its owner makes come through. Playlists marked Sync.Land pick are ones we chose; you can add those in one click on sync.land/stream.

Press License these tracks on a playlist, or Add to my player on a pick, and a Sync.Land Free Sync License is recorded in your name for every track in it that can be licensed, all at once. Any other track gets its license the first time it plays in your player, so there is nothing to do song by song. For live streams the license counts each broadcast on its own and has no time limit, and the credit your overlay shows is the attribution. Tracks the artist has paused, or that are on hold, are skipped, and the page lists them with the reason. The overlay shows each song’s credit on screen while it plays. Your licenses are listed under Account, Licenses.

Keep it private. Anyone with it can see and play your playlists. It cannot buy anything or change your account. If it gets out, turn it off at sync.land/stream and make a new one.

Email info@sync.land from the address on your account and it is closed within two business days. Your profile, images and unlicensed tracks are deleted. Licenses already issued stay valid, so a track that has been licensed stays on file for that license only and is no longer listed. The Privacy Policy has the detail.

Reply to any email from us, or write to info@sync.land. A person reads every message.

Send a notice to our designated copyright agent at copyright@sync.land. Our copyright and takedown policy lists what the notice must include, how an uploader can send a counter-notice, and how we deal with repeat infringers. We usually remove the material within two business days of a complete notice.

Sync.Land can record a license on Cardano as a CIP-25 token, minted through NMKR. New licenses are not offered one for now; tokens already minted stay on chain and can still be looked up. It is a timestamped, tamper-evident record of which track was licensed, by whom, when and under which license version, and anyone can look it up on a block explorer without going through us.

It is not a rights claim. YouTube, Meta and TikTok do not read it, and it does not register your video with any content-identification system. If a video of yours is ever flagged, the PDF certificate is what you send.
