FAQ

IF YOU RECEIVE A COPYRIGHT NOTICE WHEN USING OUR MUSIC.

If you purchased our music from our website, you have nothing to worry about. You are legally authorized to use our music in your videos. The notice you’re receiving is not an infringement claim. It is simply a notice that the songs are monetized for streaming purposes. Your videos will not be muted, deleted, or banned and you will not have a negative mark against you for the use of this music on your videos. YOU ARE CLEARED FOR YOUTUBE MONETIZATION (We recommend this!). Go make some $$$! We want you to be successful and in turn, continue to use our music!


Essentially, our songs are licensed in many ways which include other fitness music providers, large media networks, record labels, digital distribution to streaming radio, online music stores, and more. Our songs come from in house production (in our studio) as well as our partner producers and labels (outside of our studio). Our partners also license the songs in their networks which are distributed on many different digital platforms. This means that there will always be “content ID tagging” (which is what activates the copyright notice) on specific songs because of their distribution sources. Streaming monetization of our music is an industry-standard. This is why you receive these notifications. Again, you have nothing to worry about. Proceed with confidence and enjoy the music!

HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC ONCE PURCHASED?

All of the music on this site is available in digital mp3 download format.  We do not produce or distribute CDs.  We offer a short “audio preview” for each mix before you buy.  The audio preview contains short clips of various songs within the mix.  Once you’ve selected your mix(s), they are sent to your shopping cart.  Once you “check out”, you are sent to a secure online payment gateway.  We accept all major credit cards as well as Paypal.

Once you’ve purchased your music, you will be directed to a special download page.  Your purchased mix(s) will be listed as download links.  Your link(s) are only available for up to 72 hours after you purchase your mixes.  Getting them is very easy!

1.  Click on the links to initiate the download process. There are two files. Your full non-stop mix which is in mp3 format. The second file is a zipped folder containing the individual songs (also in mp3 format) from the mix. IMPORTANT: Download the files to your laptop or desktop (not directly to your phone). If it prompts you to a dropbox interface, you will find the option to “direct download” in the upper right corner of the browser window.

2.  Once your files are fully downloaded, double click the zip folder containing your individual songs. This extracts the folder so that you can open it up and view the songs within that folder. In that folder of individual songs, select all then drag the audio files into your media player app which syncs to your mobile device. The full non-stop mix is already set as mp3 and can be dragged into the media player without unzipping. 

Once you’ve done this, you will be able to play in your digital mp3 device (ipod, mp3 player, android, iphone, etc).

HOW IS THE MP3 DOWNLOAD FORMATTED?

Because a majority of our clients buy and download our mixes into their mobile devices, we’ve made it extremely simple to use.  Every mix is formatted as one single mp3 file to ensure a perfect seamless mix with a continuous beat that does not pause or break.  We do not offer individual mp3 files for each song.  For this reason, we’ve also kept our pricing very affordable and competitive.  No packaging, no special formatting – Simply download your mix(s), and play them.  It’s that easy!

It is your responsibility to download all of your purchased mixes before your link expires.  In the case that you do not download your mixes before the expiration date, contact us to request that your links be reset.  It may take up to 48 hours to reset your download links.  Once your download links are reset, you’ll 3 days to retrieve your mixes.  If you fail to download after your links have been reset, a small service fee may be incurred to reset your links a third time.

WHAT IS A “PUBLIC PERFORMANCE LICENSE”?

A Public Performance License, also known as PPL is a license that is required to play radio familiar music that is published under royalty reporting agencies like ASCAP and BMI.  Whenever you “play a song” that is heard on the radio, you are required to pay a fee.  This is done with a special annual license called a “public performance license”.  The fee is based on how many days you are open, how many hours per day, how many clients come through your facility, how the music is used (background or group fitness classes or both), and can become very expensive.  Even more, if you don’t have a PPL and get caught playing copyright radio hit music in your facility, the fines are even more expensive!

IF I BUY MUSIC FROM THIS SITE, DO I NEED A PUBLIC PERFORMANCE LICENSE?

The simple answer is NO.  All of our mixes are produced, published, managed & owned by Fit Beat Music.  We control the rights and grant the rights to whomever we wish.  Essentially, when you buy a mix from this site, you are granted the right to use that mix (or mixes) in your commercial facility for your group fitness classes and background throughout your gym without the fear of infringing on any copyright or cost of an annual PPL.  We save you money, stress & give you original music DESIGNED FOR FITNESS!

IF I BUY A MIX AND DON’T LIKE IT, CAN I GET A REFUND?
