Music libraries usually come built into creator platforms such as social media and video editors, and they really do make it easy to get started. The issue is that problems start top rise when creators start to grow.

For the vast majority of cases, platform licenses are limited to use on that specific platform. The track you use might be great for a post you use on that app/platform, but not for reuse on other platforms. The second the content is repurposed, reposted, promoted monetised, or used on a different platform, the waters get murky pretty quickly.

Limitations of built-in platform music libraries include:

  • Single platform restrictions
  • No commercial usage rights
  • Restrictions on reuse over multiple channels
  • Music being removed or becoming unavailable without notice

For casual creators who are publishing for fun, this often doesn’t rear it’s head as a problem – until monetisation is switched on, a brand deal comes in, or a video is reused for an ad on a different platform. This is usually the movement creators realise that they might have needed to pay more attention to the music they used in the first place.

This is where platform-independent licensing comes into play.

That’s the gap solutions like RouteNote Licensing are built to address: clear usage, broader coverage, and fewer “am I allowed to do this?” moments later on.
