About Jamendo
Jamendo, launched in 2005, is a catalog of independent music released under Creative Commons licenses, built for both listeners and for creators looking for music cleared for use in videos, games, and other projects. Artists opt in to open licensing to get exposure and, on Jamendo's licensing side, revenue when their tracks are used commercially through the platform's paid licensing option.
Free personal listening and downloading is covered by the Creative Commons license shown on each track; using a track in something you publish (a video, a game, a business) may call for Jamendo's separate commercial licensing depending on the specific license and use.
