What Happens to Licensed Music

This is the important part: music you already licensed and used in published projects remains licensed. You don't need to take down videos that use Musicbed tracks. However:

• Existing projects: Keep using the music — your license covers completed work
• New projects: You can't use Musicbed tracks in new content after cancellation
• Downloaded files: You lose access to download songs, so save any tracks you might need for edits

Free Music Alternatives for Video

If you create content occasionally (not professionally), free options have gotten remarkably good:

• YouTube Audio Library: Thousands of free tracks, no copyright claims, great for YouTube content
• Pixabay Music: Free for commercial use, growing library
• Free Music Archive: Creative Commons licensed, huge variety
• Uppbeat: Free tier with 100+ tracks/month, commercial license included
• Epidemic Sound (if needed): $15/month personal plan, much larger library than Musicbed

Musicbed vs. Competitors

If you need licensed music professionally, compare before renewing:

• Artlist: $17/month, unlimited downloads, popular with YouTubers and filmmakers
• Epidemic Sound: $15-49/month, massive library, YouTube integration for copyright claims
• Soundstripe: $15-25/month, includes SFX and video templates
• Musicbed: Higher-quality curated catalog, but smaller and pricier

Musicbed positions itself as the "premium" option with higher-quality indie and cinematic music. If you need that specific aesthetic, it's worth it. For general content creation, Artlist or Epidemic Sound offer better value.
