What Artlist Music is
Artlist Music is a subscription service for royalty-free music, with licensing for projects from social media to worldwide commercial use. Its catalog includes thousands of curated tracks across genres, moods, and instruments, selected and reviewed by in-house music experts. Music plans provide unlimited previews and downloads of available stems. The Similar Songs feature suggests tracks using qualities such as mood, instrumentation, rhythm, harmony, lyrics, and overall feel. Artboards organize project assets and use AI to curate and suggest items from Artlist catalogs. Adobe Premiere Pro users can use the Artlist Library extension to browse, preview, download, and place assets on a timeline. Artlist Hub for Windows and Mac manages plugins, the Library extension, and AI Assistant; enterprise clients can use an API to browse, stream, search, and download catalog songs. The no-time-limit free trial requires no payment details, but supplies watermarked music and footage previews and limited AI generations. Music licensing covers synchronization in video projects, not standalone audio except for podcasts. Clearlist connects licensed channels or videos to YouTube Content ID to help prevent claims.
