Why all the Nickelback hate? Moby would have been a better target! 😝

@kirill_kazachek @valeriya_khristinina @timur_khaziev @konstantin_vlasov @visualpharm @pavel_malay how do you keep it free without compromising on quality? Most free commercial music is not great.
Ivan Braun
@abadesi we scouted for the composers and convinced them our business model https://icons8.com/our-business-... works best. Here's the pitch in short: People get either free content for a link (we all know how it is, to be poor and not being able to afford any paid digital content). Teams and companies (10% of our users) usually pay. This way, composers get either advertising or money. We work this way, and that's more than enough to sustain.
Ivan Braun
@abadesi also we created a small number of tracks in-house. That's something we used to do with icons, photos, and (spoiler) soon illustrations. We tried it with music as well, but apparently music is different; it takes much longer to compose. Therefore, we had to rely on our partnerships with composers.

@cameronrohani ¡Gracias!

One more cool collection of free useful stuff from the Icons8 team. As usual, simple, minimalist and user-friendly interface with easy-to-get tracks. I suppose it will make life sound much better for designers, game creators and marketers who often need to get quality music or sounds for their projects. By the way, that's a pleasure for my eyes to see how elegantly your Moose stock photos work in real web interface. Great job!

Pros:

Free and high-quality

Cons:

About 1000 tracks, look forward to even more tracks

I can also recommend Fugue as a cool set of playlist for a creative process: I choose a list of tracks of one genre or one composer - and that's it. This week my work is being accompanied by Les Temps Modernes and Vadim Derepa thanks to you https://icons8.com/music/genre/c... :)
Ivan Braun
@myalanska Vadim Derepa is my favorite too: https://icons8.com/music/author/...

Impressive composer for me https://icons8.com/music/author/... Today I work with him. Please add [repeat one] to the player.

@horevivan this is something unexpected, when people start using it as a Brain.fm alternative. Different categories are for different projects, my favorites are: https://icons8.com/music/genre/epic - for an energy boost https://icons8.com/music/genre/c... - for everything else

Wow! Just the other day, a product called No Licks was launched to tackle this same problem, but from a different angle, and without the classical focus. Very cool!

@nickjnish We hope that Fugue will be helpful for creators. And we plan to work on adding more music to the collection.

Can you please do volume control as if you are listening several things in parallel this might be useful.
Ivan Braun
@anton_vasylenko Thank you for the feedback! We plan to add it soon, need to work a bit on its design

Really love the category search function and is way better than most sites that I have found out there for free music. The site looks sleek, professional, and love the photography choice! I really love the audio player on the site. Love how it appears on the bottom. Good feeling for the site. Will certainly use it!
Ivan Braun
@mastemine Oh, thank you! These things are important for us since we are originally a team of designers and developers. Hope to see your projects with our tracks!
