Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a custom jingle or can I use royalty-free music?
Royalty-free music is completely legitimate and many successful podcasts use it. However, a custom jingle creates a unique brand identity. If your podcast is professional/business-focused, a custom jingle is worth the investment. For hobby podcasts, royalty-free music is fine.
Who owns the rights to my podcast jingle?
For custom commissions, you typically receive full rights (work-for-hire agreement). Always clarify this in writing before paying. For licensed music, you have a usage license — not ownership.
