I have the usual dilemma - after subscribing to both Epidemic and Artlist I can say I am underwhelmed with the quality of the music. Trend driven popular style. For more subtle sounds with true feeling Musicbed is the place BUT who can afford that? It's pathetically over-priced.

Thank you for sharing this Eric! This was exactly what I was looking for! Greetings from San Diego, California and +1 Subscriber!

[MikeAzul]

Thanks so much for this comparison breakdown! 💚

[travelto]

What is most important to you? BUDGET FRIENDLY SERVICE? ORIGINAL MUSIC?

[tobybear]

Danke! Thanks for this amazing comparison!

[MatthewPaulJones]

Considering everything said here, I think I’ll be going with Artlist. I like the fact that I own rights to whatever song used in my video from “The ArtList” platform even when I decide to cancel my subscription. I can’t imagine editing thousands of videos using a sounds just to get my video demonetize because I decided to cancel a subscription. TEAM ARTLIST. ❤❤❤

[carmencrooks]

great breakdown, this is very good information

[Sohail.Afridi.]

I found the right Music company after watching your video. Thank you!

[donlaught]

Thank you Eric. One question. If let say I purchase one song from Artlist for a wedding video and then upload it in YouTube, any expiry date which will eventually triggers YouTube to take my video down due to the copyright claim..?

[Soft.MusicYT]

One day I will take an annual leave from Artlist, and post several beautiful songs on my humble channel, thanks for the help.

[lpz]

Im going from epidemic to artlist tonight!

[BryanLavecchia]

I noticed that Artlist and Audiio doesn’t mention Instagram as platform where we can use their music? Why?

[chrisogrady]

Why does no one ever cover Jamendo licensing? It's expensive but their library is ridiculous and actually breaks down to sub-genres. I hate looking for Electronic music on Artlist and having to sieve through 100 generic ass pop songs to find one decent drum and bass or trance song

[EyeLensWeddingVideography]

musicbed is just ridiculously overpriced for wedding videography
