Can I use the music on YouTube, in ads and for client work?

Yes. Free and Pro cover personal and small-team use including YouTube, podcasts and websites. Max adds commercial use: paid ads, sponsored content, client work and brands of any size. One-time Sync licenses cover TV, film, trailers and games.

What is the difference between the Pro and Max plans?

Pro gives unlimited MP3 downloads and a personal & small-team license. Max adds WAV + stems, a full commercial license (ads and client work) and priority support.

What audio formats do I get?

MP3 on every plan. Lossless WAV and isolated stems are included with the Max plan and with one-time Professional and Commercial track licenses.

What happens if I get a YouTube Content ID claim?

A claim is a notice, not a strike — it does not harm your channel. Paste the video link in your account and tell us which track it is: we send the claim for release within one business day, on any plan including Free.

Can I buy a license for a single track?

Yes. One-time track licenses are available: Personal $15, Commercial $79 and Professional $249. Each purchase includes a PDF license certificate. Pay once, licensed forever.

How do I remove a Content ID claim, and how long does it take?

Updated 2026-07-11 · TV Music Store

Go to the library that licensed you the music — not to YouTube's dispute form. Send them the video URL and your license or account reference and ask them to release the claim. With TV Music Store, a claim on a licensed use is sent for release within one business day. Disputing through YouTube alone can take up to 30 days, because YouTube gives the claimant that long to respond.

The two routes, and why one is much slower

Route	What happens	Typical time
Ask the library (right way)	They confirm your license and send the release straight through the Content ID system	Request goes out within one business day with us
Dispute inside YouTube Studio	YouTube forwards the dispute; the claimant has up to 30 days to respond	Days to 30 days

What to send the library

The video URL — an unlisted or private link is fine.
The track title, and the version if you used an alternate cut.
Your account email or the License Number from the license document.
Your channel URL — if the library offers channel whitelisting, ask in the same message so it never repeats.

Do not do these

Do not delete and re-upload the video — you lose the views and the claim comes back.
Do not dispute with "I bought the music" and no reference. An unsupported dispute is slow and can be rejected.
Do not mute the audio in a panic. The claim is not a strike; the video is safe while it is being cleared.

The fastest route: report it where you licensed it

Some libraries let you register channels for monitoring; all serious ones release claims on licensed uses when you report them. Either way, the library — not YouTube's dispute form — is the short path, because the library can confirm your license instantly.

On TV Music Store, paste the video link in your account (Copyright Claims) and name the track — the claim is sent for release within one business day. And publish first — a private video is invisible to YouTube's API, so nobody can act on a claim on it.

Frequently asked

How long does it take to remove a Content ID claim?

Through the library that licensed you the track it is fast: TV Music Store sends a claim on a licensed use for release within one business day, and the release then runs through the Content ID system, usually within a day. Through YouTube's own dispute process the claimant has up to 30 days to answer, so it can take weeks.

Does the claim hurt my channel while it is open?

No. A Content ID claim is not a copyright strike. Your channel standing is untouched; only the monetization of that one video can be affected until it is released.

Will the claim come back on the next video?

It can — releasing a claim only handles the video it was raised on. Report each claimed video the same way; the request takes a minute and goes out within one business day.

Can I speed up a YouTube dispute?

Not from your side. That is exactly why you contact the library instead — they can release the claim directly, without the 30-day window.
