RoyaltyFreeKings.com Celebrates 300,000 Plays of Their Tracks on SoundCloud

Launched in 2012, the music licensing website has hit a milestone of 300,000 plays through their Soundcloud demo player and nearly 9000 downloads. Aimed primarily at educators, as well as independent game, video and radio commercial producers, the royalty free music website has become a popular resource for low budget productions.

In just ten months, RoyaltyFreeKings.com, a 'royalty free' music licensing website, has hit a new milestone, accumulating over 300,000 plays through their Soundcloud demo player from all over the world. Since launching in February, traffic and sales have steadily increased as independent producers based all over the world have become aware of the music licensing website, and the strict quality control that runs through the entire catalog. In addition to new albums and tracks being added on a monthly basis, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has also added dozens of tracks to their free background music download section. Available to anyone working on a project with a budget of less than US$250,000, each free track is ready for immediate download. The range of styles and genres include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension. The selection of royalty free music for free covers full length tracks and music loops.

Tracks featured in the free section are aimed at people who need legal clearance for the music they use, but don't necessarily have the resources to pay for it. Owners of YouTube 'partner' accounts fall into this category – where using unauthorized music runs the risk of getting an account suspended, or worse: getting sued by the owners of the music.

The number of downloads of the free music is approaching 9000, and the daily traffic to the website is increasing every day as more and more people discover the resource.

RoyaltyFreeKings.com's collection of royalty free music for video production not only covers the most used styles and genres of music, such as: pop rock, acoustic and romantic, suspense tension and heroic inspiring, but also a growing list of unique 'hybrid' albums. Some of these include 'Epic Patriotic' – US patriotic songs in an epic trailer music setting, 'Patriotic Punk Rock' – American patriotic songs set to edgy punk rock arrangements, 'Jazz Patriotic' – featuring live saxophone, piano, drums and bass, and the recent releases 'Acoustic Christmas' and 'Epic Christmas'.

The goal of RoyaltyFreeKings.com since launching in early 2012, has been to make searching for background music for video production incredibly easy and streamlined. The crowd-sourcing business model (where anyone can upload music), like that used by many royalty free websites, has the main benefit of a rapid expansion of content. The downside is inevitable: with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that does little to enhance a project, whether it's a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through these crowd-sourcing websites licensing stock music (also known as 'library music' or 'production music') have to waste time sifting through huge collections to find something they'd actually want to use, or worse – settle for something inferior just because they don't have the time to continue searching.

By hand picking each piece music, RoyaltyFreeKings.com only allows in music that meets a strict standard of musicality and production value. The result is a streamlined shopping experience where a producer can find, purchase and download the music they need within just a few minutes.
