Downloading Music

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”
  1. Click the Buy or Download button on any track or stem
  2. FreeMix shows you the license acknowledgment — a clear summary of what the license allows and requires
  3. Acknowledge the license terms
  4. If the music is for sale, you’ll be presented with a payment form
  5. Once you’ve completed the payment, the music is available for download or if free, you can download it right away

What the License Acknowledgment Tells You

Section titled “What the License Acknowledgment Tells You”

Before every download, you’ll see:

  • The license tier and what it permits (remix, commercial use, performance, etc.)
  • Any modifiers — Credit required? Royalty percentage? ShareAlike? NoAI?
  • A plain-language summary of what you can do and what you cannot do under this license

This ensures you always know the terms before you use someone’s music. Be sure to read and understand the license terms and any modifiers before you download as these dictate what you can and cannot do with the music.

Downloading Stems

Section titled “Downloading Stems”

On a track detail page, if the artist provided stems, each stem has its own download button and waveform player. You can download stems as a group or individually — the license applies to the stems as well as the track.

Downloading Samples

Section titled “Downloading Samples”

Individual samples can be downloaded from the collection page. Use “Download All” to grab every sample in a collection at once.
