Not enough music. And most songs aren't of my taste. That's makes it really hard to work. What makes it good is their sfx list.

It's not the best music library, but there's a lot of really good music on Soundstripe. Considering the cost, it's a good value. The part that's aggravating to me is the music licensing. It's unacceptable for me to put the watermarked preview files in my video drafts, so I have to do licenses for several songs, sometimes for what turns out to be only one in the end. Also, once you license a track and commit to a project name, it's set in stone and can't be edited. I oftentimes use a working title for a project until closer to project completion. If I have to refer back to the music license or redownload a track, it's sometimes difficult to figure out what it was labeled as originally since I couldn't update the project names to keep everything organized. Another library that's at a similar price point and has similar licensing annoyances is Artlist. I guess that's what you have to deal with to get more affordable music for your video project. Maybe this isn't a big deal for others, but it gets on my nerves. Obviously, the cost isn't astronomical, but after using libraries like APM, Killer Tracks, etc., the licensing process is really annoying.

I love a lot of the music but find I'm sort of running out of songs as I never use the same one twice. I wish there were more singer/songwriter acoustic guitar tracks.

music is OK. but no retro or classical music. licensing is too complicated.

Its a good source for music, but needs more artirts and better songs

not so much music offer and not such a good search engine

I really like soundstripe, I like how they don't have a million restrictions on what platform their music can be posted to. You can’t beat the subscription price. And the quality of music is really really good. What I don’t like about soubdstripe is they say “new tracks every Friday” but they aren’t consistent with that. I’ve seen several weeks go by without any new tracks added. And I’ve seen tracks show up before/after Friday. It would be really nice to have some consistency there because I am always looking for new awesome tracks and it’s frustrating when I go to look and there hasn’t been anything new for a while especially when there is supposed to be new content every Friday. I also feel like they could really use more music. More genres. I look for a specific mood of music, and I don’t get very many results. I feel like they have a lot of one specific genre but not very much of the genre I like and use a lot of, I almost feel like I’m running out of options. For example Bryant Lowry, I use a lot of his music, and I have listened to every song with similar moods and can’t find anything nearly as good as what he creates. It would also be nice to have the “Release Date” added to the details of the music and to have an option to sort by release date. More “sort by” options would be nice. Sometimes I need a song that is a specific duration and to be able to sort by duration, name, release date, etc. these are all things that would make finding music easier. Notes. Having the ability to leave notes on a song would be so nice. That way I could put in the notes if I’ve used the song before, what video I used it in, maybe future plans for a song, etc.

Pros: Mostly good choices for music, tracks are done professionally and stand out. Cons: Somewhat of a limited selection in some genres, especially newer age sounding rock. The site feels biased towards Electronic music and Cinematic.
