Music licensing platform Audiio has just launched and to kick it off, they are offering lifetime subscriptions for anyone who signs up in the first 60 days for USD $199 which would normally get you annual memberships.
The music licensing company, Audiio, is a new online platform that currently comprises of 3000+ songs from 250+ indie artists and composers.
“We are excited to launch today and serve creators around the world. Curating a high-quality catalog is the first step. As Audiio grows, we plan to roll out new technology that will change the game for the entire industry.”

Audiio has partnered with labels, publishers, and independent artists in Nashville, Los Angeles and other areas to recruit notable indie artists like Willyecho who recently won NBC’s Songlandcompetition. The company also represents dozens of commercial composers including J Scott Rakozy and Matthew L. Fisher, known for his work with Disney, Star Wars, and Warner Bros.

Thoughts
While $199 USD sounds like a great deal for a lifetime of music, it does make you wonder how long the company may actually be around for. In saying that, most annual subscriptions cost a similar amount of money, so you don’t have that much to lose even if the service was to fail.
Audiio is a brand new platform, but with so many music licensing platforms now on the market offering very low pricing, it may be a race to the bottom.
Music licensing platforms are only successful if they have good quality music and if their music catalogue is constantly being updated.
If the pricing is low, you have to wonder how any music licensing company can sustain a business model where you need to pay artists and music labels for the rights to use their product.
