Improvements & Issues

I use this site to download music purely for weddings, as I'm sure many people do. I can't believe there is no wedding tab or genre option. Would be very helpful if you could add one.

Please include the “Date Added” for each song on Musicbed. This would help users easily identify new music and improve navigation by knowing exactly when songs were added.

It used to be very easy to find high quality, great songs on Musicbed when you were able to sort through tracks by most popular. For some reason, they took that feature away. Now, finding good tracks on the site is nearly impossible on your own. You have to rely on their crowded playlists that only show you a fraction of what's out there. You can't even properly search for a specific song using the search, even if you type in the exact name of the song. It will show you other less popular tracks with the same name that they are trying to promote. I understand this might be a decision to push less known artists and songs. But unfortunately, there's a reason why they aren't the most popular and there are other ways to promote lesser known tracks without forcing users to sort through hundreds of songs without finding anything useable. Removing the ability to sort by most popular was a baffling decision that has made me often gravitate towards other sites like Artlist where you still have that option.

My eyes hurt.

I'm not sure why one of the most expensive licensing servicers doesn't have a simple feature that a majority of others do but they keep making it harder and harder to sort music you find. As of right now you have "Projects" and "favorites" Favorites allows you to save any song you like and find but its not categorized or anything, its just put in the same place as every other song you like. Projects used to be able to be used also as a "folder" system until they changed the way you HAVE to license music. Now if you license music from a project folder it forces you to use that project folders name as the project name when it may just be named like "Fun upbeat songs" and you need it to be your clients name. Not to mention anytime you license a new song it creates a new project folder for that new client and license so now you've got like 50 project folders and it gets all combined in one place. Can we just have a simple folder structure for saving songs? I would love to have a way to save "Fun and upbeat songs" as well as "serious, slow, romantic" songs and more. When I am searching for music for a project, I often times find many songs that I love and could use for other projects but not the current one so I would save them in a folder for future use. But now its all jank and hard to do with the new licensing system. I feel as though the developers and product dev team don't really ask their customers what they would prefer, instead just think an idea is good and throw it into production without any feedback. Reminds me of apple, always giving people what they don't want because they think it would be a fun idea. just give us folders please...

We believe giving Musicbed Subscribers a tool inside Premiere Pro to browse songs and quickly add them to their timeline would be beneficial.

Provide a native Android app for clients who do not have iPhones.

It would be amazing to have a feed / playlist of all the new music from artists you follow. Currently the 'follow this artist' feature seems a bit useless, would be amazing if it could be used to notify me when an artist I follow uploads new music / pull all new music from followed artists into a constantly updating playlist/feed

Love the new AI suggestion feature. Thank you, thank you. Suggestions. Any way you guys can add sound effect library to your service? It would be awesome to have both music and sound effects all in one place under one subscription. Keep up the good work. C

It would be useful to quickly be able to license recent downloads that are downloaded as unwatermarked "Try It" songs, as I often download multiple songs while ultimately settling on 1-2 for a video. I like the way search currently works as it does allow users to see the variety and find new songs, but it does often fail to give the searched song as the top result if a song and artist is given, so I personally don't think search needs to change to accomplish the goal here. I've already twice accidentally forgot to license music and had my videos claimed and it took me longer than I'd like to correct, so this would solve this issue as well. I could see it existing as a third tab under My Music.

when browsing songs and I see a list of songs, while listening to the preview on that list, I want to look at lyrics without clicking into the song itself. I'd like to stay on that page with the list of songs

Currently I spend a lot of time trying to get the playlist to appear in the correct order. The only way this is possible to do at the moment is by adding songs in the correct order. And it doesn't always work.

I really wish that there was the genre of music in the playlists. Some playlists (ex. What's new, or Best of 2023) have so many different types of music in one place. If you want to find a song though for the project you are working on, you need to listen to every single track to find something though. There is also no filters in playlists which would be a great addition. For example you may be looking for something cinematic but have to listen to hip hop and electronic song when you would normally just skip past them. It just makes the process so much slower and makes the playlists less useful.

When looking for songs, the little checkmark that shows when the song was last used is incredibly helpful. However, then finding that project is quite hard. The absolute date is shown, as well as the episode name. If only that was a link to go directly to the project, it would make it so much easier. The reason why it's hard for me is because when going to the projects page, the dates there are listed as relative, so it's not easy to compare, but also the project date might be different from the license date, I'm not sure. Also, most of my episodes are named the same, after the type of film they are. It's the project name that's unique. So another option would be to make the little overlay of when the song was last used include the project name instead of / in addition to the episode name.

I am a wedding videographer based in Italy, I would like Italian sounding songs but it's very hard/almost impossible to find songs that sound Italian!
