November 2008
We've added hundreds of new tracks in the past few
months, from established media composers like Dynamedion,
Mark Cook , Vernon
Woodward and Michele Vanni.
Mark, Vernon and Michele are all new additions to our composer
roster, and they bring a wealth of experience with them, from
working as producers and musicians in the pop world, to a
mass of media commissions and advertising expertise - we're
sure their music will be appreciated here. We now have over
3000 music tracks available to download, each one is carefully
considered and prepared personally by us - it's our way of
maintaining the high quality of the music we have available.
Incidentally, we reject most of the music submitted to us
by composers wishing to be included on this site, simply because
we don't consider the quality to be good enough. We're passionate
about quality - we know our customers are too!
May 2008
In the first part of the year we've added hundreds of new
music files, plus we now have WAV loops available to donwload.
In fact there are now over 2200 music tracks available to
download - New music includes tracks from Simon
Wolfe, Bjorn Lynne, Dan
Gautreau, Chris Worth, Andy
Potterton, Joe Williams, Anthony Clarkson, Stephen Cornish,
Pat McCarthy. We've also added lots of Classical
Royalty Free Music recordings - these are full "live"
orchestral recordings, with choirs and soloists etc. as appropriate,
not keyboard imitations. To date we've added works by Mozart,
Beethoven, Bach
and Allegri - over the next period we have many more recordings
to become available covering pretty much every major classical
work you can think of.
March 2008
More upgrades and improvements to the site this month,
making it easier to bookmark the tracks you like when shopping,
listen to the tracks in your shopping cart, plus a few other
tweaks to make the site a good place to be when shopping for
Royalty Free Music.
January 2008
Sixty new royalty free music tracks added from a new writer
to royalty-free.tv, Vernon Woodward.
December 2007
New tracks added from Dynamedion,
Jonathan Atkinson, and a new writer
for us - Tony Hernandez.
November 2007
New tracks added from Dynamedion, Jonathan Atkinson, Matt
Bosworth, taking the total number of music files available
to download to over 1500.
October 2007
New tracks added this month from several sources, including
some new to our site. Dan Gautreau
has great credits as a writer, engineer and programmer including
such artists as Kylie, Alicia Keys, All Saints, Five,
Macy Gray. Jonathan Atkinson is a prolific composer for media,
and this month also saw the first of his colection go 'live'.
We also added a whole heap of christmas tunes, they sound
fantastic!
March 2007
Improvements to the site's useability again, this time with
a major server change - more space, more speed to accomodate
the growing number o fpeople using the site. The result is
that the site's faster to use, can accomodate more people
using it at one time especially listening to audio in realtime.
Of course we've also added a few more music tracks too, although
we have plans to add much more later this year.
January 2007
We made some major to the audio previews on the site, so that
now they use Flash to play. Some clever coding was needed
to achieve this the way we wanted within the existing site
framework, but the result is good - the previews are now CD
quality stereo streams, they start almost instantly, and are
much quicker to use across almost every sort of browser. We've
kept the windows media lo-fi samples too though, for those
on slower dialup internet connections. The new search results
now look something like this...

August 2006
We've been busy over the past couple of months. First of all
we moved premises, including our in-house studio. Our correspondence
address remains the same, but our phone number has changed,
you can see the new details on the foot of most pages on the
site, also our contact page. The
move did mean we were out of touch for a few days, which required
some patience from those customers who wanted to talk to us
during that time, but everyone was very understanding and
patient, which we really appreciated - thanks! The other change
lately is that due to demand from our customers, we've upgraded
the MP3 downloads to be 256-bit files. This was probably overdue,
when we started the site 5 years ago most people were still
using dial-up connections, and we had to keep file sizes as
small as possible to make the download times manageable. Now
that high speed broadband connections are much more common,
file sizes don't matter so much and most people are happy
to download files of 4-6 Mb, which is an average music file
size on our website. We always take great care with the audio
quality of our files, in the past we've haad many compliments
on the quality of our MP3's and they've been used on everything
from Hollywood Movies to national TV networks, so we know
all our customers will appreciate the greater fidelity of
our new files. We can't wait to see where they end up being
used!

Well it may seem a little early, but it's usually just after
the summer breaks that those Christmas productions start appearing
on the horizon, so what better time to add some new and different
Christmas tracks to the site? Royalty Free Christmas music

as well as new compositions, and present them in a bright
and contemporay way, with more than a hint of tongue-in-cheek.

A lot of our customers use this website regularly to buy royalty
free music, and have been asking us for ways to make the purchasing

music files. We've responded by introducing our PowerUser

"Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us"...etc etc...
Yes - it's been a year since we put the site online - first of all a big "Thanks" to all of you who've supported us throughout the year, and thanks also for the messages/emails you've sent us. It's great to see that our new venture is working well for so many of you - royalty free music available and on-demand when you need it. Throughout our first year it's been satisfying to see the wide variety of uses you put our music to - so far it includes websites, corporate DVDs & videos, cable TV, national TV broadcast on BBC in the UK, internationally-networked satelite broadcasts and computer games. Thanks again!
January 2003
Back to work after the holidays, and full of good intentions we've given the site a freshen up - nothing major, but now in response to some of the questions raised by our customers you'll find more info about royalty free music, advice on using it etc, all easily accessible. Also, for our US customers buying royalty free music and using American Express to pay, we can now accept and process your payment entirely in $US (rather than showing you the price in ££ as before). Other cards have been able to do this for a while now, but Amex took a bit longer to organise...but now it all works smoothly - thanks for your patience.
November 2002
More royalty free music tracks added - Christmas tracks from Bjorn Lynne, some new additions from the AVP library, and a useful historical selection of tracks from the Notepad Royalty Free Music Library, featuring styles of music from throughout the 20th Century.

Royalty-free.tv now accepts payments via American Express, as well as the other major cards. Payments appear online in £UK at present, although your card will be debited in your home currency, and $US acceptance is being added to the site as soon as possible. Thanks to all of you who've been in touch to request this, it's always good to get feedback, and even better when we're able to do something about it! Hopefully paying for royalty free music downloads is now even easier...
July 2002
