Soundstripe is a royalty free music library for people who make video, film, TV, ads and podcasts. The homepage cites more than 116,000 human-made tracks by Grammy-winning artists and says the catalog contains no AI-generated music. Sound effects and, on one tier, stock video sit alongside the music.
The company is a product of Soundstripe Inc. in Nashville, Tennessee. It says its in-house team of professional musicians works with award-winning artists around the world, and that artists are paid royalties so customers do not have to handle that themselves.
How does Soundstripe work?
Users choose a subscription or a single-song license, download tracks and use them on platforms from YouTube and TikTok to ads and TV. Tracks are described as pre-cleared, and the plan or license determines where the content can run.
Finding a track starts with Supe, an AI assistant that responds to a description of the mood or moment. Reference track search accepts a link from Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music and returns similar songs. Soundstripe LIVE watches a timeline in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro or another video platform and suggests music.

For workflow, Projects store media in one place with notes and sharing for clients and teammates. Shareable playlists keep teams aligned. Licensing features include YouTube claim clearance on allowlisted channels and up to $1 million in indemnification on business-level coverage.
