Melody Loops
Melody Loops offers loopable royalty-free background music to preview, license, customize, and download. Its listed uses include videos, podcasts, presentations, games, phone systems, and client projects. Tracks can be browsed by project, genre, style, mood, and instrument. Longoloops makes custom-length MP3 or WAV versions, with previews ranging from 5 seconds to 1 hour. Listed formats are MP3 at 320kb and 44kHz, WAV at 16bit and 44kHz, and AIFF at 16bit and 44kHz. A purchased track has a lifetime license for repeated use across projects without another license fee per project. Buyers may edit, trim, or loop tracks, but may not resell or redistribute the music on its own or release it as a new music track. Free tracks require attribution and are for non-commercial use; commercial or monetized projects need an appropriate license. The site also presents an AI playlist generator with MP3 or WAV downloads in any length. Free music costs nothing and requires an account and credit.
