Why all the Nickelback hate? Moby would have been a better target! 😝

I can also recommend Fugue as a cool set of playlist for a creative process: I choose a list of tracks of one genre or one composer - and that's it. This week my work is being accompanied by Les Temps Modernes and Vadim Derepa thanks to you https://icons8.com/music/genre/c... :)

@kirill_kazachek @valeriya_khristinina @timur_khaziev @konstantin_vlasov @visualpharm @pavel_malay how do you keep it free without compromising on quality? Most free commercial music is not great.

@abadesi we scouted for the composers and convinced them our business model https://icons8.com/our-business-... works best. Here's the pitch in short: People get either free content for a link (we all know how it is, to be poor and not being able to afford any paid digital content). Teams and companies (10% of our users) usually pay. This way, composers get either advertising or money. We work this way, and that's more than enough to sustain.

@abadesi also we created a small number of tracks in-house. That's something we used to do with icons, photos, and (spoiler) soon illustrations. We tried it with music as well, but apparently music is different; it takes much longer to compose. Therefore, we had to rely on our partnerships with composers.

One more cool collection of free useful stuff from the Icons8 team. As usual, simple, minimalist and user-friendly interface with easy-to-get tracks. I suppose it will make life sound much better for designers, game creators and marketers who often need to get quality music or sounds for their projects. By the way, that's a pleasure for my eyes to see how elegantly your Moose stock photos work in real web interface. Great job!

Pros:

Free and high-quality

Cons:

About 1000 tracks, look forward to even more tracks

Impressive composer for me https://icons8.com/music/author/... Today I work with him. Please add [repeat one] to the player.

@horevivan this is something unexpected, when people start using it as a Brain.fm alternative. Different categories are for different projects, my favorites are: https://icons8.com/music/genre/epic - for an energy boost https://icons8.com/music/genre/c... - for everything else

Wow! Just the other day, a product called No Licks was launched to tackle this same problem, but from a different angle, and without the classical focus. Very cool!

@nickjnish We hope that Fugue will be helpful for creators. And we plan to work on adding more music to the collection.
Anton Vasylenko
Can you please do volume control as if you are listening several things in parallel this might be useful.
Ivan Braun
Maker
@anton_vasylenko Thank you for the feedback! We plan to add it soon, need to work a bit on its design
Logan Boyd
Really love the category search function and is way better than most sites that I have found out there for free music. The site looks sleek, professional, and love the photography choice! I really love the audio player on the site. Love how it appears on the bottom. Good feeling for the site. Will certainly use it!
Ivan Braun
Maker
@mastemine Oh, thank you! These things are important for us since we are originally a team of designers and developers. Hope to see your projects with our tracks!
Vincent Battaglia
Congrats @visualpharm! Awesome product, as usual.

@vinch thank you!

Would be great to have an option to buy music to be able to use it in video ads and etc.
Ivan Braun
Maker
@vladkorobov at the moment, all you should do is to buy our monthly $20 subscription. No link is required then.

Great resource - do you know @visualpharm if these will have any issues in terms of copyright ID if videos are uploaded to Facebook and also YouTube especially as both have their own music libraries now too - thanks
Ivan Braun
Maker
@krishnade do that. We've negotiated the rights for all of these. The only exception are few tracks that are marked with Content ID.
Krishna De
@visualpharm Thanks for confirming - just want to know as I will be sharing you in my workshop next week on live video for PR professionals

@krishnade thanks! if you'd like the paid educator's license for our icons and everything, you're more then welcome to drop me a line at [email protected]

@visualpharm Thank you - that would be fantastic

I am already a licensed user of icons8, very pleased to see them take their aesthetic to music.

Pros:

Nice collection, well-indexed, good range of moods.

Cons:

Would like search & sort by instruments, duration and bpm.

Melvin Thambi

Awesome team!! for this innovative project! A win win situation for both the maker and the user.

Pros:

Awesome list of music

Cons:

nothing much

Glenn Cameron
Nice! I will use this.
Dineshprabu S
Very good collection of music.
Justin Kwong
Music looks great guys, thanks for making this! Is there a way to download smaller file sizes of music? I noticed that a lot of the downloads are 50MB+, are there any mp3s or .wavs that are under 10MB?
Ivan Braun
Maker
@justinckwong good point, will do. There are mp3s, we use them to stream music when you press the play button; it's won't be hard. Meantime, there's a hack: open the developers tools in your browser and start playing a track. You'll get your mp3 link here: http://take.ms/FzWWw
