ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Royalty free music

Royalty free music is like using a toy without having to ask for permission every time you play with it. You know how when you borrow a toy from someone, you have to give it back and can only use it for a little while? The same thing happens with music. Every time you want to use someone's music, you need to ask them if it's okay and if you have to pay them to use it. That can be really expensive and confusing.

But with royalty free music, you don't have to do that. It's like having your own toy that you can use whenever you want, without having to ask your parents if it's okay or if you have to pay for it.

Basically, it means that you can use someone's music without them asking you to pay them every time you use it. You can use the music in videos, podcasts, commercials, and other projects without worrying about getting in trouble. It makes things much easier and more affordable for creators who want to include music in their projects.

So, in short, royalty free music is like a toy that you don't have to give back and can use whenever you want without anyone asking you to pay for it.
