Decent song selection, Everything else: HORRIFIC

Decent song selection. Horrific website and disastrous claim release system. The website is terrible. It is counter-intuitive and feels like browsing Alta Visa in 2001. When you search for a song you need, it doesn't come up even when you search for song title and artist. You can either search for artist or song. So you if the song is called "yesterday" you have to figure out which of the 19 different yesterday songs it is, or you can search for the artist "bcalm" in which case you have to go manually find the song, which can be tedious if the artist has many songs. The whole licensing procedure that you must do on every single song, every single time you need it, is beyond a waste of time. The fact that they haven't been able to make the process fast and efficient tells me a lot about their attention to detail - or lack of it. By far the worst part is that on every second video on average, claims are not released, so unless I am uploading a video on a Tuesday within working hours, I have to dispute the claim immediately, as I otherwise will lose ad revenue until the claim has been released. How do I get the claim released? I have to send an EMAIL and explain all sorts of things, screenshots, url, claimant, yadda yadda yadda. And even on weekdays you aren't necessarily getting a response or the claim cleared, so even though the dispute will - generally - eventually be released, the ad revenue from the video will be stuck in an escrow for at least a month - usually up to two months. This has been a problem for so long that I can only see this is as some kind of added revenue income for them. I don't like making a dispute, but I also don't like giving away my money to Musicbed which is already charging a lot. And the fact that you have to be signed up for a yearly membership is also just ridiculous. So yeah, decent song selection hence the two stars, but getting to the point where it's just not worth the hassle any longer.

Response from Musicbed· Aug 10, 2026

Hi Joen, Really appreciate you taking the time to share such candid and detailed feedback. I’m sorry for the frustration you’ve had with our search experience, licensing flow, and claim releases- especially when those issues affect your upload schedule and revenue timing. Regarding search: we hear you. Searching by title, artist, or a combination of both should feel much easier than what you described, and our team is actively working on improvements to make finding the right song faster and more intuitive. On licensing: I completely understand how per-project licensing can feel tedious, especially compared with other platforms. Musicbed uses a rights-managed model, which means artists maintain ownership of their work and each use needs to be properly documented. That model helps support the quality of the catalog, but I agree the workflow still needs to feel efficient for clients. The claims issues you described are the most concerning part to me. Our system is designed to clear eligible claims automatically shortly after they appear, so if you’re seeing unresolved claims on that many videos, something is not working as intended. I’d really like to look into this directly with you and troubleshoot what’s happening. One important clarification: Musicbed does not collect revenue from claims placed on videos. Claim revenue goes to the rights-holder. In some cases, artists or their representatives use independent content-detection systems, which can create claims outside of Musicbed’s direct automated clearing process. That said, I know the end result is still incredibly frustrating when your revenue is delayed. If you’re open to it, please email [email protected] and ask for Grant. I’d be happy to personally review the issues occurring and help work out the best next steps. Thanks again for the honest feedback. I hope we can get this resolved and make the experience much smoother for you moving forward! - Grant, Director of Client Experience
