Love this!
Excellent service with an insane amount of popular music. I'm honestly impressed with the selection and the ease of use through the entire process up until posting the content.

Thanks for your comments Jorge! We passionately believe your video's soundtrack can be the difference between a "good" video... and a "great" one!
Amazing to hear you've been enjoying both our mainstream chart music AND the 100,000 tracks included free with your subscription!
Keep up the great work! 💪
No copyright issues!
Lickd made it super easy for me to license and use popular music in my social media videos. It easily links your account with your social media profiles ensuring everything runs smooth and no copyright claims are made.

We always love hearing when creators find Lickd simple and easy to use! 😎
A 5-star service once search is significantly improved.
Great variety of artists and tracks… if you can find them.
Just realized two of my favorite bands in the world are on this service. I found them on accident.
This is a 5 star service for video creators ONCE subscribers can see every artist in their catalog. I assume there must be a reason we can’t see everything without stumbling across an artist by accident or just typing each artist we would like to find into the search bar, but I hope this changes soon.
New songs for big artists are seemingly constantly added. A very exciting service.

New features will be launching throughout the year so we'll aim to keep you and all our customers updated.

More Modern Country Music on Lickd
Having modern hit music on our videos has certainly made them more enjoyable to watch. Would love more country songs for our content though. Lickd has filled a need for us YouTube creators.

We're constantly working to expand our catalog so hope to have more Country music songs for you later this year.
In the meantime, we hope our tracks from Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton and others will help.

Every track that I have licensed…
Every track that I have licensed through Lickd has gained a copyright claim on YouTube even after following instructions to a tee. Upload the video, list it as unlisted, and add the license in the caption. Not only that but the songs that have already been cleared get placed on a second copyright claim. My revenue has taken an impact on YouTube from using tracks licensed by Lickd simply by the fact that it takes DAYS to clear a track with the support team. I have used Epidemic sound for years now and never had a problem with a single of their tracks. As much as I love the idea of using popular music in my videos, at the end of the day it might not be worth it with the number of hassles you have to endure to do so. The only person on the support team that has been extremely helpful has been Josh Lally who is courteous and gets on the case immediately clearing the copyright claim asap.

Hi Lesley
Unfortunately it appears YouTube have incorrectly applied a claim against your video for a different track to the one you've used (and different to the license purchased from Lickd).
This is an error with YouTube's system, and is outside of our direct control. However, our team are trying to contact the rightsholder of the incorrect track on your behalf, to request they remove this claim.
If we do not hear back from them, then we can offer you a refund for the track.
Our apologies again for your experience, and we'll do our best to help resolve YouTube's error for you.

Our monthly plan is optional and includes lots of benefits for YouTube creators such as yourself... including unlimited use of 100,000+ stock music tracks, exclusive offers, and access to our lowest license prices.
Alternatively, you can still access and license our full catalogue of over 1.1 million tracks without a subscription.

Premium music don't understand
I didn’t quite understand why a service is needed for supposedly premium music, if it can’t be used in any way. Almost every song on YouTube has a copyright icon. your compositions are mostly old and not so popular. how then you can use your music is not clear in this case.

Hi Yermek
As explained by our Customer Service team (via our previous emails) you are trying to license music for what would be considered an 'art track', where the purpose of your video is purely to listen to the music itself.
These type of videos cannot be monetized in YouTube and any copyright claims cannot therefore be released. This is why you are unable to use our licenses in the way you are attempting.
We're sorry for any inconvenience 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.
Many thanks

We've introduced our 'Creator' subscription to offer lots of benefits to YouTube creators such as yourself... including unlimited use of 100,000+ stock music tracks, exclusive offers / competitions, and access to our lowest license prices.
Our mainstream chart licenses are still available from $8 US dollars for subscribers.

Mostly affordable music and easy to use
It was easy to copy and paste the content ID into my descriptions. My videos were published without being flagged or taken down. Having hand-picked music makes the quality of my videos better. I do hope there will be a wider variety of electronic music in the future. (I like future funk like Young Bae and retro city pop.)

Good to great music. Easy system.
Good to great music and an incredibly easy copyright clearing system. Doesn’t alway work, especially at weekends, but usually by midday Monday things are sorted.

Thanks for the 5-star review Jon!
For the majority of our songs, it takes as little as 30 minutes for our system to automatically clear the copyright.
Tracks from Universal Music Group (UMG) do require manual intervention for clearing your claim, which can take a little longer (up to 4 hours on a weekday, and 48 hours at the weekend).
We're continuing to work on making these times quicker. 👍
The new prices are too high
The new prices will prevent me from using this service again. It was 8 dollars and now over 30. Horrible business move

Lickd is a fantastic resource for content creation.
Lickd provides content creators such as myself access to license countless music tracks from A-list artists such as Sam Smith and Lizzo for use in our videos. Being able to use top charting songs as the soundtrack to our creative works is an incredible asset that was previously unavailable to small artists.

We're so glad to help you soundtrack your YouTube videos to mainstream chart music.

Its nice to be able to use popular songs your audience relates to without worrying about that dreaded Copyright knock on your door.
I give it 4 Stars out of 5 only because it seems a bit spendy and some of the songs are not Copyright Free due to International guidelines. I get it but I just wish they would label these tracks a bit better so you don't go through the entire process of scrolling through, listening to, getting your hopes up to download and then be told, "Sorry for your bad luck, you should move to a different Country."
Again, I understand this is out of their hands, just label these songs better's or remove them completely as an option. Overall a fun and innovative addition to your music library. The Free/ Non Copyrighted music offered is of high quality as well. They just need a little better of a player and ways of creating Playlists, I suggest something similar to the way the Epidemic layout is. That would be a nice upgrade. Thank you

Your comments and feedback are much appreciated!
At present, a selection of our songs do have international limits on where they can or cannot be used. We've passed your comments on to the right people, as we're always working to make our service more accessible for creators to find the right music.

I’ve always wanted to use mainstream music for my YouTube videos and Lickd has allowed me to do so. Using recognisable songs enhances the viewing experience hugely for the audience. The communication with Lickd is great and I’ve really enjoyed working with them.

Thanks Chris.
We 100% agree!! Using recognisable mainstream music in your videos can help boost engagement, views and ultimately ad revenue.
Keep up the amazing work... we always love watching your footie videos.
Finally! I can monetize!
I love that after years of not being able to monetize my videos, I can actually make money on YouTube without asking subscribers to donate or pay. Another benefit is when a video has a copyright claim, your merch shelf doesn’t show up under the video, so it has helped with awareness of our online shop. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star review is that there have been a couple of instances where a song is available, so I choreograph a workout to it, but when I go to purchase the license, it says it’s not available in my country. I learned to double check that before putting it into a video, but I wish there was a way to communicate that visually without pretending to purchase the track. The other thing I have run into a couple of times is the song is listed, I double check that it is available in my country, then I choreograph it for a video, but when I go to purchase the license, it’s no longer available. This has luckily been able to be corrected by the support team with an e-mail every time, but it is extra time and work. One last suggestion would be that the creators didn’t have to repeat their license information in the e-mail with the video link since the video attribution is already in the description. That would save a lot of time! Overall, I am sooooo pleased that popular music is available for the first time ever for fitness creators such as myself to make quality workouts and make money like other YouTubers! Thank you, LICKD!
