Is Artlist worth the money? Their License changed. 

I've had Artlist for several years at $199 a year and it appears that the music I downloaded back when the license was a "forever license" are now under the new license where I can't use them without a current subscription. So much for the forever license. Feels like a bait and switch. The forever license was the only reason I signed up for Artlist to begin with, I renewed my yearly subscription last July before the license change even took place in November so I couldn't change anything. I feel like they should honor that forever license promise for anything downloaded before Nov. 2022, but it doesn't look like that's the case. I love the music they have, so this is frustrating. UPDATE: I talked with them more and since my subscriptions were purchased prior to the change, they're letting me continue to use my downloaded music based on the original license agreement. If I sign up for a new subscription, any new downloaded music will be subject to the new terms (no forever license). I'm also running into the problem of some of the songs I downloaded a while ago on Artlist are getting copyright claimed by Triple Scoop Music now because the artist moved their music from Artlist to Triple Scoop and the Triple Scoop systems have now been flagging my content on Pinterest as their music even though I originally downloaded it from Artlist a couple years back. Artlist is working on getting Triple Scoop to clear the copyright claims from my account. But my biggest frustration is that when I went back to my downloads list to get the license for the music in question to send to the Pinterest copyright dispute team, the old license for those songs are not even available for me to download to send. I have downloaded tons of music, I didn't download every license for each one. Hopefully Artlist can duke it out with Triple Scoop and I can get my audio back on those Pinterest videos since I paid for the music.

I had an artlist subscription of max social for 60 a month. Now they cancelled that option and are forcing you to pay 450 upfront for max. The only monthly options are now music and sfx or footage and templates. They no longer offer you a monthly package for all assets thats has really turned me off.

That lighting though.. 👌🏻

Just randomly thought of you! I'm glad you're still making RU-vid videos! Cheers! -some kid who used to sub to your patreon :) edit: holy, you have not aged one bit

omg i love that story you made with the stock footage! very creative

I've been using Artlist since 2022 and yes, there have been a lot of changes for the worse. In contact with customer service they say that NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My opinion as an editor and former client? Artlist is not a good option to use from now on! Watch out guys and and thanks for the video Tommy

dude your lighting is actually insane you have by FAR the best lighting of any creator i have ever seen

Your audio quality is fantastic.

Great content & Thanks for the heads up about epidemic sound. Do you know if Artlist will work with CapCut?

Tommy thank you for the great videos! You make the life of a Sundance style indie film-maker so much easier. Artlist just has so much high quality music and clips and the price has gone up but its still very good.

I signed up and would have kept the subscription but when they changed their license i cancelled.

Nice video. I hope everything stays perpetual in reality because that's why I use Artlist instead of other platforms. Also, the Helen bit was really funny to me 😂

Epidemic Sound has a super dope feature where you upload a video and it uses ai to find the perfect song for pacing.

Hey, Tommy I really loved what you said on click baits that talk about your character. Good job and good work

Thanks for the information! The story about Helen was funny.

why is there a voice on the music I download from the artist list? I have a license, but a voice can be heard in the background of the song. why ?

I'm still a little confused... so hypothetically, if I got a subscription, made a video with some content from artlist that is indeed copyrighted like music from big artists and content from other creators that i use in a video, tagged in all the licensed stuff on my video, post it, and then like some time later got rid of a subscription to artlist, will my old video I already posted during my subscription be covered and safe forever, with no copyright flags or claims on my video?

So in conclusion...it became much more expensive. I was a customer and in that time I downloaded a lot of music and sounds. I think the future will be ai generated music, so every song will be unique and personal.

I use your link, thanks. Sadly i only got the music pro.... sound effects was extra jajajaja

0:00 Dude I knew I wasn't crazy! I thought I was tripping

Artlist is it compatible with Windows...

They don't have much collection in footage like storyblocks

good points but no one has ever had a problem and my users A+ viral guys. Get artlist and backup with distro kid but most of the Artlist music are from talented indie artist and none of them ever file afrivilous copy strike?!

I canceled my subscription because of that... 😮‍💨

Not having a stock photo is a massive dealbreaker for me

Wow very clever video! 🎉 your a great story teller 🎉

Aw jeez ..i was about to sign up to help Helen out, but now.... Nice job. It makes sense now that Artlist is mainstream that they would normalize the license. The convenience and need to change up things from video to video makes the use case for reusing old music limited.

Give me the first track name you used for Helen and I will subscribe

can I have many channels with one artlist suscription ?

What ? I hope it did not change for the worst, just renewed my subscription. Their license policy was why I use them in case I have to use after I am no longer a member. I wish Artlist had stems like other sites but for now I use Neural Mix Por to kind of separate what I need from a song. I spend hours and hours a week checking what "new" music there is but they actually do not hardly ever update that much.. but still worth it I guess.

Do I need to link the licenses for the sounds in my yt vid? Or dose Artlist do that for me already.

Lol Dude went in on Helen 😂

Update: They now only support clearlisting 3 channels per social media plataform

So let's say I quit doing RU-vid forever but I want to leave my videos up forever.. so I cancel my subscription for art Am I legally okay to leave All those videos up forever and never subscribe again if I don't do good on RU-vid?

👍

Interesting, thanks for the breakdown of their service!

Just a way to get you to subscribe forever. If you have a video that is doing well you’re screwed. Goodbye Artlist!

all this is eazy first off learn to make your own music with fl studios and many other programs or learn on keyboard next make friends in other citys and you do the same film clips from your citys and things you like skys or whats ever and send them to back and forward and you can record your own sounds with a recorder and make your own web page thats not on youtube more freedom hope this helps
