What is production music

Production music (or library music) is music specifically written for inclusion in audio and audio visual productions, such as advertisements , broadcast programmes, film and video productions.

It is available on compact disc for convenient, high quality and cost - effective synchronisation or dubbing into such productions. Obtaining a licence is a simple process involving only a minimum of administration involvement by the user to ensure the required licence is issued and the correct fees are paid.
