Sync.Land music has been licensed by creators at
Three steps. Most users finish in under 5 minutes.
Filter by mood, genre, BPM, and instrumental vs vocal. Hit play before you commit — every song streams full-length.
Free Sync License (attribution + view caps) for creators and community work. Commercial Sync ($49+) for monetized projects — covers YouTube, podcasts, ads, games.
Stripe checkout. Instant PDF license and MP3 download. Add an NFT receipt on Cardano if you want a timestamped record you hold yourself.
A sample of the catalog. Every song below is licensable today.
Two options. An on-chain receipt is an optional add-on to either.
Free
From $49
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. 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 that the artist sets for each track; the default is $49. Sync.Land keeps 30% of the fee and the artist receives 70%. An on-chain record of the licence is optional and adds $5.00.
You need a free account, because the licence is issued in your name. There is no guest checkout. Payment is by card through Stripe, and the PDF licence certificate and the MP3 are in your account as soon as checkout finishes. Free Sync licences 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.
We license recordings people made. AI can help you write, arrange, mix or master. Any audio in a track that a generator rendered, whether a vocal, an instrument or a bed, cannot be licensed here, even when it copies your own voice: nobody owns that audio, and nobody can say what the generator was trained on. That is a risk a buyer cannot be asked to take.
Every artist answers one question at upload: made by people, AI-assisted (AI used for writing, arranging, mixing or mastering, every audio layer still made by people), or contains generated audio. The first two are licensed and the second is labelled. A track containing generated audio can sit on a profile but is not offered for licensing until the generated layer is replaced with a performed one.
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.
