Thanks Alex! We're so glad using chart music in your workout videos is driving positive engagement and comments from your viewers.
I've just checked out some of your workout videos and I'm definitely pumped for getting fit this year! 💪
Unrivalled Chart Music
I’ve been working with Lickd as an independent content creator for coming up to 1 year now, and the expansion of their library and user experience/ interface has been truly mind blowing. Not only is it incredibly simple to use, but their library of chart songs is unrivalled and truly game changing for any content creator looking to up their game in the highly competitive YouTube space.

Thanks Finzar! We truly believe using mainstream music in your video can be a game changer... turning a 'good' video into a 'great' one. So glad you agree!
Can't wait to see how you use Lickd in 2023! 🙌
Lickd is great but...
Lickd is great, its only flaw is that UMG songs don't get cleared automatically. We're often losing the first 1 - 2 days on ad revenue since we post on weeekends and can't have the video cleared until you guys are open. Once its cleared on your side its often another 6 hours until UMG clear it too.

Hi Seb
Thanks for the comments! At the moment, it’s true Universal Music Group (UMG) tracks aren’t cleared automatically… however, our support team will normally turn this around for you in up to 4 hours on a weekday, and 48 hours at the weekend.
If you're posting videos at the weekend, we always recommend uploading your video as ‘unlisted’ during the week. This allows us time to clear any claims with UMG before Friday so you can then go live over the weekend.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience. Always the latest tracks available to use in my videos. Prompt and helpful customer service. Any time there's a copyright claim it's sorted in under 24 hours and usually as fast as just a few hours. There's nothing else quite like this service in the space and I hope that Lickd continue to grow and make it easy for creators like me to sound awesome online!

Thanks Mike. Our music catalogue is growing all the time, with tracks from the likes of Sam Smith, Bruno Mars and David Guetta all available.
Great to hear you've been putting all this music to good use in your YouTube videos!

The best place to find new music for videos. I used them to place chart music in my Youtube which I can also monotise. It's fantastic value and you dont get any problems.

Thanks for the kind words Leilah!! Our goal is to help YouTubers include great mainstream music in their videos whilst still being able to monetize them... so it's great to hear you're already producing some amazing content.
Don't forget, we've also got new tracks going live every week so come back regularly to see what's new :-)
Gotta be honest
Gotta be honest, not being able to view the library before giving my credit card info gives strong scam vibes
I click the browse button, it gives me a quick glance over the tracks, and then it is covered by "give us your credit card info" without any way to go back

This is available for everyone to browse (BEFORE signing up) so we hope you find the tracks you were looking for.
You might also try deleting your cache / cookies if you're still experiencing any technical issues.
If you have any further questions please drop us an email to support@lickd.co, as we're always happy to help.
A disappointingly opaque site
I find it strange that you cannot see what you are buying before you sign up. I only wanted a handful of tunes to create a charity clip but couldn’t see whether they had the tunes.
Then I couldn’t see how you stopped your subscriptions.
And finally they demand that you use a Google account for sign up. Why? I keep my Google account very private to avoid spam and use an msn account for more public stuff but you can’t set up with an man account.

Hi Graham
You can find our catalogue of over 1.1 million mainstream tracks here https://app.lickd.co. This is available for everyone to browse (before signing up) so we hope you find the tracks you were looking for.
Our 14 day free trial can be cancelled at anytime from your account (when logged in) or by contacting our customer service team. We're always happy to help.
Lastly, you're correct that we do request a Google account (and access to your YouTube channel) to sign-up for Lickd.
This is because we use your YouTube channel's ‘Average Video Viewership’ figure (AVV) to work out the customised price of your license. It also allows us clear any copyright claims quickly for you.
We'd be happy to help you find the right tracks for your video, or to answer any other questions. Please drop us an email to support@lickd.co.

Lickd.co Makes My YouTube Channel Possible
I think Lickd.co is great, with by far the best music selection of any site of this sort I have seen. I use them to acquire licenses for songs I use in independently created music videos with game footage visuals from Final Fantasy XIV.
It is true that there are limits in how the music can be used, but there are many instances where you will find these licenses helpful. If you make original content that needs attached music, this site is for you. I have found customer service to be prompt and helpful when releasing claims; just remember they operate under UK time (daytime hours weekdays).
As for the license reverting if the video gets over 500k views in the first month: this is a highly unusual situation, and my sense is that while in such a case you would lose monetization of that single video, the rights holder would not issue a Strike against your channel. Copyright Strikes and Blocks are our biggest risks. Avoid those risks with Lickd.co.

Thanks Lilith, we’re glad you’ve been enjoying Lickd!
Regarding your comment about video’s receiving over 500K views… this limit is specific to your channel and this total would be higher for larger channels.
If your video went viral and exceeded that limit (in the first 30 days), there is a possibility the rightsholder MIGHT review your license.
Please rest assured your video would NOT be taken down, you would NOT receive a copyright strike and all monetization to-date would be unaffected. 👍
If you have any questions or need some help finding your next track... contact us at support@lickd.co as we're always happy to help!
Be prepare to pay for nothing
I had 2 bad experiences in 2 purchase
-I bought the wrong track seems there is some issue with sign in in and a track added in my cart month before was still in the cart while the one I just clicked license was not added to the cart, I then paid quickly without looking much the title of the track since it was obvious I just added the track i wanted in the cart, once paid I downloaded it because its the fist option you see once paid, and soon after realised the mistake when reading the license with the name of the track, well after contacting the support they replied that they don't refund because I already downloaded the track, so i have a track and a license that I will never use.
-after that I paid for the correct track this time, and uploaded my video on youtube with the license in description, after asking them to clear the copyright claim they told me that "cannot release your claim as it breaks the terms and conditions of our licenses"
Please note we cannot license into adverts: Can Lickd music be used in adverts on social media? nor can we license to businesses: Can freelancers / marketing agencies get licenses for their clients?
So freelancer like me cannot publish their video on their youtube channel with Lickd track, the license is useless, and they don't refund it either

Hi Nicolas
Firstly, please accept our apologies that your experience was not as hoped.
Lickd was specifically created to support content creators and editors produce online videos, licensing music for their unique content.
Our services have never included usage rights for online adverts or for freelancers / marketing agencies who produce content on behalf of clients.
Our usage terms are outlined during our account sign-up, within our Help Centre and on every music license, but we appreciate you may have missed these.
I'm afraid that as a freelancer who produces online adverts we are unable to support you with our service.
Regarding the two licenses you have already purchased / downloaded, please contact support@lickd.co and we'll do our best to assist you if we can.
Many thanks
I knew it was too good to be true.
Lickd has no real value for content creators. Hidden in the bottom of the rightsholder terms, it says:
"If your video goes viral (video views total of over 500k) in the first 30 days of your content going public, your video could be reclaimed by the rightsholder."
If your video does well, they'll just take back the license you paid for. I'm glad I caught this early. Shameful.

Hi Eric
Thanks for your comment. Whilst our license agreements confirm your video “COULD” be reclaimed by the rightsholder if it goes viral, this is NOT guaranteed and may remain unaffected. The 500K view limit is also specific to your channel, and this total would be higher for larger channels.
This clause is also only applicable for tracks from Universal Music Group (UMG).
In the eventuality your video went viral, the rightsholder would first contact Lickd if they wished to review your license. Please rest assured your video would NOT be taken down, you would NOT receive a copyright strike and all monetization to-date would be unaffected.
If reclaimed, the copyright owner would likely request a new music license was purchased to cover the higher number of views your video had received. Your video could therefore remain live and continue to be monetized.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at support@lickd.co and we'll be happy to help.

DO NOT USE LICKD services .. its a scam
My experience with them was pretty rotten
Buyer be ware when using their services. They claim to have license content that you can use with Youtube videos. I used a music visualizer that I have a paid subscription for , on top the music license's I have from LICKD. when I posted my video on YouTube the system copy right claimed the video. When I contacted the company they did not respond in a timely manor . I was told because I had filed a claim that I now needed to contact their support email. After contacting their support email they took their time responding. Because of them no releasing the claim my monetization was denied with YouTube . I recivied a email from JOSH saying Unfortunately your copyright claim will not be released as your video breaches our terms and conditions. Our music cannot be monetized on art track or remix channels. This is highlighted to users in our FAQs and in the license agreement in your account. That was after I got upset with them for getting me denied on Youtube . Josh started crawfishing after I had properly cited the videos AS REQUIRED .. Guys do not use them or TRUST THEIR SERVICE .. THEY ARE A SCAM

Hi John
As you described, you've tried to license music for what would be considered an 'art track', where the purpose of the video is purely to listen to the music itself. These type of videos cannot be monetized and any copyright claims cannot therefore be released.
Before purchasing the track, our terms and conditions clearly state how licenses can or cannot be used. Our Help Centre articles also give more information if required.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but reading our licensing terms before purchase would have helped avoid this issue.
If you would like to license music for a different type of YouTube video, we're always happy to help.
Or if you have any further questions, please contact us on support@lickd.co.
