Music License?

[AC_Pro]

Howdy Fellow Mozzers!

My company wants to start creating video content that will be posted online (wistia/youtube/vimeo) and we'd like to have music in the background of some of these videos. I'm not sure how music licensing works, but I found rumblefish/friendlymusic but it looks like they only support small and medium companies with up to 20 employees. Our business has 150-200 employees and we'd like to know how to license music for a company of our size. Do you guys have any recommendations or can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

After posting this question I found a great article on Wistia that answered my question: http://wistia.com/blog/music-for-business-video/. One of the comments under the blog mentioned a company called Premiumbeat and they had a solution that worked for our company.

AC_Pro,

I don't have time to read the whole post, what are the fees for the Premiumbeat? I know on Powtoons, you can create animated videos and that they have about 60 tunes under one of the programs. Those are had for $59/mo. or you can save a ton with a yearly. We are trying it for a month for giggles and it is cool. (We do video production and post production and are interviewing for vector graphics/3D/animation).

Just curious about Premiumbeat experience when you try it. You are welcome to PM me.

Best, (and thanks for a cool question).

They have the option to purchase songs separately or in "music collections" (http://www.premiumbeat.com/collections). Pricing for individual songs is about $40/ea for permanent use. The music collections are substantially cheaper ($15/ea) so if you want a lot of choices I would go with that route.
