What Artlist Music is
Artlist Music is a subscription service for royalty-free music licensed for projects ranging from social media to worldwide commercial use. Its catalog has thousands of curated songs across genres, moods and instruments, selected and reviewed by in-house music experts. Music plans include unlimited previewing and downloads of available stems. Similar Songs suggests tracks based on qualities including mood, instrumentation, rhythm, harmony and lyrics, while Artboards organize project assets and use AI to suggest items from Artlist catalogs.
The Artlist Library extension for Adobe Premiere Pro lets users browse, preview and download assets, then drag them into a timeline. Artlist Hub for Windows and Mac manages plugins, the Library extension and AI Assistant. Enterprise clients can use an API to browse, stream, search and download catalog tracks. A free trial has no time limit and requires no payment details, but previews are watermarked and AI access is limited. Music is licensed for synchronization in video projects, not standalone audio except podcasts. Clearlist connects licensed channels or videos to YouTube Content ID to help prevent copyright claims.
