Your rights
The license has no stated end date — the artist-registration page (captured August 14, 2026).
A heads-up: the artist-registration page (captured August 14, 2026) takes a licence over what you send and never states how long it lasts. Scope, duration and revocability are what a licence means — an ownership disclaimer standing next to it settles none of them, so this is the question to put to Audiosocket in writing before you enter.

A sync library that prints the split before you sign up, on the same page as the upload form. There is no window and no closing date — the audition is open all year, which is why this listing carries a rolling state rather than a date — and there is no fee: you supply four original songs and wait, with “We’ll get back to you within 90 days” as the only stated timeline.

Two deals are published side by side, and the difference is the number to read twice. On the non-exclusive roster the split is 25/75 — “we commission 75% of the upfront fee (gross licensing fee) and publishing royalties and you receive 25% of the upfront fee and 100% of the writer’s share of royalties”, and you stay free to license the same music to anyone else. On the exclusive roster the split is 50/50 and the music is Audiosocket’s to represent alone. The library states its own reason for the gap: “many higher end Film/TV/Ad Studios won’t accept non-exclusive submissions.” This card is the non-exclusive deal, because that is the one that leaves your catalogue where it is.

What the captured pages never state is how long the artist’s side of the arrangement runs — no term, no renewal, no reversion — which is what the heads-up on this card reports. Sitting next to that gap is a fact the library advertises to its buyers rather than to its artists: every licence it sells is “perpetual and worldwide for its defined use”. Both belong on the same card. A perpetual downstream licence is ordinary in this trade and is the product being sold; it also means a placement made under a deal of unstated length does not expire.

The record
Source
Audiosocket’s own artist-registration page, including its published “The Deal” and “The Timeline” sections, together with its about page (audiosocket.com), both captured August 14, 2026.
What it costs
Nothing. No submission fee, membership fee or upload charge appears on the captured artist-registration or about pages, and none stands between an artist and the audition. Four original songs are uploaded with the registration. Captured August 14, 2026.
What it pays
The non-exclusive split, in the library’s own words: “We commission 75% of the upfront fee (gross licensing fee) and publishing royalties and you receive 25% of the upfront fee and 100% of the writer’s share of royalties.” The share is contingent — it applies to licences actually sold on your music, and no advance, minimum or guaranteed placement is stated anywhere on the captured pages.
The deadline
There isn’t one. Registration is continuously open with no window, round or closing date published, so this listing runs in the rolling state rather than as a date. “We’ll get back to you within 90 days” is the only timeline the page commits to, and it is a reply time rather than a deadline.
The other deal
“The Exclusive Deal is 50/50… You would work with Audiosocket exclusively to license your tracks.” The exclusive roster is described as much smaller, with higher splits on sync fees, international sub-publishing and quarterly pitch reports attached — and the stated reason it exists is that “many higher end Film/TV/Ad Studios won’t accept non-exclusive submissions.” This card summarizes the non-exclusive deal only; the exclusive one is a different arrangement with a different answer to the exclusivity question.
What the buyer gets
“Every license is perpetual and worldwide for its defined use, so your project stays cleared forever.” That is the promise made to licensees, not to artists, and it is the reason the duration question on the artist side is worth asking in writing: a licence sold under it does not lapse.
What they won’t take
“We do NOT accept covers, tracks with samples, or AI generated music. Your submissions must be 100% original and fully owned by you.” Music already tied up in an exclusive publishing or label agreement cannot clear that condition.
Who is behind it
Audiosocket, founded in 2008 and describing itself as “music licensing, built by musicians”. Its about page states a catalog of “100,000+ hand-picked tracks from independent artists, bands & composers”, “150,000+ sound effects” and more than 200 genres. Contact runs through the form at audiosocket.com/contact and a public help centre.

No cash up front — 50% of all Net Receipts Soundscape actually collects on your music, plus 100% of the writer’s share of performance royalties paid to you direct by your PRO
A non-exclusive license, limited to licensing your compositions and masters to media productions worldwide, for a three-year term that renews yearly unless either side gives 60 days’ notice; it reverts once the term ends — Section 2(1).
A heads-up: Section 7(2)(b) uses perpetual/irrevocable licensing language over the song, regardless of any separate ownership disclaimer — scope, duration and revocability decide, not the disclaimer.
A publicity-rights note: Section 2(4) grants Soundscape Media Inc. the right to use your name, likeness and photographs in connection with the rights it licenses — a publicity-rights grant, and a separate question from what happens to the song.
