Royalty-free means that you pay a one-time fee to gain the legal right to sync a piece of music to a project(s). Your projects may include things like commercials, video games, Youtube Videos, films, documentaries, presentations, flash websites or instructional videos. In simpler terms, Royalty-free music is an inexpensive solution that allows you to legally add great sounding music to your multimedia works.

All our music is not content ID registered so you do not have to worry about content ID claims on YouTube.

No, it’s not mandatory, but we’d appreciate it! If you’d like a discount on our Personal Subscription Plan by crediting us in your content, check out our Creator Program!

If you cancel or don’t renew, you don’t need to take your projects down. Any game or project released under an active subscription remains licensed forever, so you can continue selling it. Plus, player streams or gameplay uploads aren’t considered new projects.

Yes! You can cancel your subscription anytime under your 'My Account' Column, click on 'My Subscriptions'. If you forget to cancel and haven’t downloaded any tracks, we offer a full refund within 14 days. Learn more about how our subscription works and who it’s for

Once your subscription ends, your license to use the music and SFX expires. To use tracks in new projects after canceling, you’ll need to renew your subscription or buy them individually.

Once you launch your game with an active subscription, the files remain legally tied to it even if you cancel, so you don’t need to repurchase standalone packs. If you plan to add more audio or create new content, you can renew your subscription or buy additional packs.

Under your 'My Account' Column, click on 'My Subscriptions'.

The subscription page will show up and you can click the 'Cancel plan' button to cancel it.

Yes! You can use our music in podcasts. During an active subscription, you can download and reuse music and sound effects as often as you like. However, if your subscription expires, you can’t use downloaded content in future episode.

The Personal Plan is for solo creators earning under $100K per year, for personal projects or one-man freelance work with clients (excluding TV/broadcast rights).

Both plans support client projects, but it depends on your situation: if you're a solo, self-employed creator earning under $100K/year, our Personal Plan covers freelance client work; if you're a company or earn over $100K/year, you'll need the Business Plan.

No, our Business Plan is strictly for video games, web, apps, podcast, social corporate content. Broadcast or paid streaming rights (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Disney+) aren’t included. For those, please purchase our Legendary Music License.

Our Creator Program offers a 70% discount off our Subscription Plans (Personal and Business) to content creators who credit with a link to our website on every video, video game, project, apps or post they created using our library. 

With a Subscription (Personal, Business, or Creator Program Plan), you can download up to 999 tracks per month. Each main track and its variations are counted separately—for example, the MTG Bounce and Battle FULL Loop comes with 7 submixes, so it will be counted as 8 tracks in total. Our download limit ensures a carefully curated, high-quality selection while supporting the artists behind every sound. It maintains a copyright-safe, worry-free experience and encourages intentional creativity, helping you find the perfect sounds for your project.

You can view your download count under 'My Account' > 'Account Details'. The monthly download limit is 999.

A FULL Loop is complete musical mix that is meant to loop over and over again, seamlessly and endlessly. It does not contain an introduction and an ending. Track durations vary and may be as short as 10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes. Learn more about our music mixes.

Please try going to the search page to make sure you selected your license tier and currency. After selecting them, try rechecking your basket; you should see the tracks in your basket. If it doesn't work, please email us at support@wowsound.com.

You'll receive a download link via email with your order. You can also log into your account under 'Order History' to download your files. Small downloads arrive in minutes, but larger ones take longer—1GB takes about 2 minutes to compress and 15 minutes to download over 2.4G Wi-Fi. Your licensed tracks are available for 2 weeks after purchase. If you don’t receive the email, check your Spam or Junk folder. If it's missing after 30 minutes, contact us for assistance.

You can choose to download the files in .wav or .mp3 format. Our .wav files are delivered in stereo (uncompressed lossless audio) in either 44.1Khz or 48kHz and 16-bit or 24-bit.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but our system only allows downloading in one format. Please choose carefully between WAV or MP3. We recommend downloading the highest-quality WAV file, which you can later convert to MP3 or other formats if needed.

To edit the playlist, simply tick the tracks on the 'Checkbox', select the 'Action' you want to do and click 'Proceed'.

No. The "WOW Sound" voiceover is only present in the audio preview on our website and Soundcloud. After you purchase a license, you will be able to download a clean copy. 

We launched our revamped site on a new platform on 8th April 2022, so the accounts and past purchases are not transferable even if you create a new account on our current site :(

But fret not; we have a record of all past purchases. If you need files from your past purchases, simply email us at support@wowsound.com with your email address or the invoice number, and we will send you the files via WeTransfer.

Yes you may, but the copyright still belongs to WOW Sound. As such, copying, redistribution and resale of the modified content is not allowed. 

The watermarked audio you downloaded is provided to help you test and preview how the sound fits within your project during development. However, it cannot be used in any final or publicly released project, even with the watermark.

This allows you to experiment freely while ensuring the final project uses fully licensed, watermark-free audio for the best experience. Once you’re ready, you can purchase the license to get the high-quality version without watermarks. If you have any questions about licensing or need help selecting the right sounds, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to assist!

Using our music synchronized within the game and selling the video game commercially is not a problem as long as the buyers do not have access to our music or sound effects in standalone elements. However, We understand due to the nature of certain game engines; the video games are redistributed in a folder that includes music, sound effects, art, and so on as they are needed to run the game. In this case, it's fine, so don't worry too much about it :)
