Frequently Asked Questions
What rights are included with my purchase?
Both Artyfile Basic and Limited Edition purchases grant you a worldwide, perpetual synchronization license. This allows you to use the music in any video project (online, broadcast, film, ads) for a lifetime without any additional fees. You can find all details on our pricing page.
How does the YouTube monetization work? Can I monetize my video?
You cannot enable direct channel monetization on a video using our music. Instead, Artyfile uses YouTube's Content ID system to collect all ad revenue generated by the track globally. If you purchase a Limited Edition, you receive a proportional share of this global revenue pool, paid out quarterly. This model transforms the license into a potential revenue-generating asset for you, earning from every use of the track on YouTube, not just your own.
Are these tracks truly exclusive? Can I use them for commercial projects?
Yes. All music on Artyfile is exclusive to our platform. Your license includes full commercial rights, allowing you to use the tracks in advertising campaigns, branded content, and corporate videos without any restrictions.
Are there any free sad music tracks available?
Artyfile focuses on a premium, exclusive catalog and does not offer free downloads on this page. Our model is built on fair remuneration for artists and providing creators with high-value assets. For information on a different approach, we sometimes discuss free music sources on our blog, which can help you understand the difference between free and premium options.
How do I receive my music track and my ownership share (NFT)?
After purchase, you will receive an instant download link for the high-quality WAV file. If you bought a Limited Edition, the Music NFT representing your ownership share will be delivered to your digital wallet within 24 hours. The entire transaction is recorded on the blockchain for full transparency.
