Just provide a credit (music by longzijun). The music may not, however, be used in works that are pornographic or that deliberately promote violence or incite hatred.If your intended use is not strictly non-commercial (e.g., monetization using AdSense), check out the much more detailed terms of use: longzijun.wordpress.com/music/free-background-music-series-terms-of-use/
In each section, the download link appears below the preview video of each song. More songs will be added later, so check back soon or subscribe to my main YouTube channel
I’ve noticed some people are coming here by searching for ‘commercial music’. If you are looking for licensing royalty-free music you can try using Google to search for” “background music” “commercial” -”non-commercial” (the quotes and – sign are important) or simply “royalty-free music”. Most people offering royalty-free music seek a one of payment (often around $10) for use of the song.
Background Music by Other Composers
There are quite a few talented composers willing to let you use their music for free and some who are even willing to write scores for free. I’ve listed some of these composers on this page: Free Background Music and Scores from a variety of composers in a variety of styles

Hi, tryied to contact you through the e-mail stephenrichards@longzijun.com but the mail returned back. Please give me a valid e-mail adress in order to contact you for the use of your songs. Very beautyful and inspiring music!
Hi Ando, I’m not sure where you got that e-mail address from.
The music is free for non-commercial purposes–just give a credit (music by longzijun). I also allow its use (also for free) for commercial purposes for smaller organisations (depending on the nature of the business).
If you want to use the music somewhere on the kronplatz site, that would be fine.
I would appreciate it if you could send a link (I am curious about how the music ends up being used.
Gracias
I love “Dreams” and plan to use it in a group presentation video for class. Your name has already been listed in my credits. Thank you so much for offering such lovely compositions!
I down loaded your composition “Dreams” and am planning to use it for a video some friends and I are making right now. It was great to find a awesome song like this for free. Thanks and I am adding your name to the credits. I will send a link to you when the video is finished.
Helloo! You are amazing :). I am planning to use a few of them for a big school project. I will of course add your name to the credits, and if by any chance i post it on YouTube, i will add you to the link. Thanks!
Hey man, I was wondering if its possible to use your track (Background Music 02: Versatile) for my school project, its a promotional video competition for my university? I will add your name to the credits.
Great music btw ;)
Hello,
Can i use Free Background Music 12: Dreams as a background music for a video presentation of an IT project? The video will be sent to kickstarter.com and posted on the website.
Best Regards,
Mihai
Hi Mihai, I sent a response to your gmail account
@Adnan, sure, go ahead
just great site and would love to use them for the presentations …
Was wondering if I could use one of these for a short promotional youtube clip (1 min) announcing an event for my not profit trade association. Don’t really know how to provide credit (mixing video myself and I’m an amateur) and would prefer to pay something nominal (or gain advanced permission).
Hi Matt, it is simple to provide credit. You just put a title/subtitle at the very end of the video (music by longzijun). All video editing software, even Windows Movie Maker, has some function for putting text onto a video.
Very thanks…
i encourage your skills…
thanks a lot
Longzijun = Thank you for the BEAUTY!!!!!
I getting feedbacks how great is the music in my video! Really good job, and I must say I was searching for days to find the right one! Love it!

Thank you. I’ll keep your name in mind. :)) I’ll use this for my school projects. :))
Hello Longzijun, this is James Harris of Harris Promotions Inc. I just heard the background
music 12 dreams and man it is just the sound I’m looking for. Iwant to use it for a background sound for my ebook; it’s a christian ebook. If it’s OK to use, could you contact me at the email below thank you jrh.
Hi James,
I guess that would be commercial use. As I’ve been getting more requests like that, I’ve written up some more detailed terms of use here: http://longzijun.wordpress.com/music/free-background-music-series-terms-of-use/
You would fall under Category C.
I have read and understand all of your recommendations for music use. I would like to use your music for instructional videos at http://lifeandlimbgel.com . My business is a small family owned business offering an elite line of hot and cold therapy products. I have the videos ready to go up on my site, it would be great if I could use your music! Thank you,
Chelsea Frank
Hi, that seems fine. Just you follow the terms of use for small businesses; it involves making a donation to charity (http://longzijun.wordpress.com/music/free-background-music-series-terms-of-use/)
Thank you
Recently, I used Snacks & Watches in a video of mine (link below). I gave you credit in the… well, in the credits, but I’m starting to think about becoming an AdSense member. If I do, do I still have permission to use the song, and if so, is there anything extra I must do to stay legal?
Video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R98LUnnPqa8 (the credit and the song are both in the credits)
Sorry, the first reply wasn’t clear. Yes it is OK to use the song for your video, but if you are using adsense, you should make a small donation to charity and provide slightly more detailed credits as explained here (you would be in Category B) http://longzijun.wordpress.com/music/free-background-music-series-terms-of-use/
What a gift. We have a small Breakfast/Lunch Restaurant (wife & me), we use Picassa to build a slide show of the foods we offer, and play it on a TV Monitor at out Counter. The slide show needs sound and I’ve been searching for something appropriate.
We can’t afford the big time programmers so I’ve tried to do it myself. You can see it under “Gabby’s Restaurant” at http://www.odessabusinesspark.com.
I hope it would be alright to use one of your creations. I have not heard them all, but what I have heard would work well.
Thank you.
Hi, I think the proposed use is OK, but it definitely does’n't fall under under the terms of non-commercial use. You can check out the terms of use and refer to the section on small businesses: http://longzijun.wordpress.com/music/free-background-music-series-terms-of-use/
Thank you for the permission. We will definitely contribute to charity because we do it regularly anyway. Our favorite is the Girl Scouts because we have a number of families that have children who belong, but it doesn’t end there, we also like Charity Newsies, as well as the cjhildrens baseball teams, Goodwill, and the Salvation Army to name a few. We also contribute to the childrens gift funds at Walmart at Christmas.
I still have no idea which song or songs we might use, but we will pledge to meet your requirments.
Thank you, Cliff & Sara

Great music! I used one of your songs for a school project and it turned out very well. Thank you for sharing!

Hello there, I have wondered about buying the software program DubTurbo Beatmaker and was hoping somebody could give me an actual authentic overview of the computer software. Almost all the webpages that provide reviews are literally internet marketers advocating the software package and so i doubt that the user reviews are for real. Cheers in advance for virtually any insight anybody can offer.
[...] This is the 26th song in the free background music collection. The music track can be used for non-commercial purposes; just provide a credit: music by longzijun.
