Facebook today announced the launch of a collection of free music and sound effects for content creators . So, if you usually upload videos to this social network or Instagram, now you can put music on them without fear of violating copyright. This collection is already active and can be used. In addition, it already has more than 1,000 audio tracks. The songs are available for free and can be downloaded from the special page that Facebook has enabled for it. In short, it is a very similar resource to the one we have on YouTube.
If you usually upload videos to Facebook, you will know that if we include copyrighted music the video is deleted .So the social network has decided to make music available to its users. These tracks are free and available for download on the Facebook Sound Collection page. However, we must be clear about the conditions of use.
The use of the audio content available in the sound collection is free. However, the license granted is subject to the Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (DDR). This dictates that the content offered can only be used in videos that we create, upload and distribute on the Facebook platform . This includes the social network Facebook and also Instagram. And according to the conditions, also those that are accessed through links to the Facebook platform inserted in third party sites.
Upon entering the Sound Collection page, we will accept these conditions, so we must take them into account. As we mentioned, we currently have about 1,000 sound tracks and about 1,500 sound effects . Tracks can be sorted by genre, moods, duration, or voices. If you've used the YouTube song library, Facebook's will be very familiar.
On the left side of the screen we will have two small icons to download and play the songs. Right next to it we will see the title of the song, the genre, the rhythm and the duration. We have tried listening to some of the tracks and, although there are many too standard, we have several quite interesting .
