Classical music for ads commercial license
Music inside paid ad creative is the placement most stock subscriptions get wrong and most brands get asked about. The rule here is explicit: the Creator tier excludes music used inside paid ad creative, while the Commercial tier expressly covers music inside paid web and social advertising plus client work and small business marketing. These bright, propulsive classical cuts are built for 6, 15, and 30 second formats, and every license includes the verification URL that media buyers and brand legal teams need.
Recommended starting tier: Commercial $99 one-time
Client work, paid web/social ads & small-business marketing. Multi-project use.
What this license covers for advertising
The Commercial tier covers music inside paid web and social advertising: the track runs in the creative itself while media spend puts it in front of audiences. It also covers the agency model around that: client and freelance work, small business marketing, and multi project use for the same licensee. One Commercial license per track can score a campaign's cutdowns and organic versions together when the licensee stays the same, perpetual and worldwide.
Broadcast advertising, TV, radio, and cinema placements need Broadcast and Film instead, so confirm the media plan before licensing: web and social paid placements are Commercial, anything transmitted as broadcast is not. Name the campaign at checkout, file the license PDF with the insertion order, and share the verification URL with everyone trafficking the creative. Upgrades cost the price difference only if the buy expands.
Which tracks fit ad creative
Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 first movement is pure propulsion: playful, urgent strings that lift product montages, app demos, and food content without lyrics competing with the offer. Vivaldi Spring is bright optimism for lifestyle, travel, and wellness spots. The Figaro Overture opens fast and celebratory, perfect for launches and sale announcements that need instant lift.
The Jupiter Symphony finale adds triumphant urgency for winners, reveals, and before and after transformations. All four cuts are short catalog excerpts that edit cleanly to standard ad lengths, with natural phrase boundaries for 6 second bumpers. Preview against the rough cut, license the exact track in the approved creative, and keep alternates licensed before trafficking variants.
How to use them in paid placements
Edit the music to picture lock, then mix voiceover and offer copy clearly above the bed: classical strings occupy the same brilliance range as sibilant voice recordings, so carve a little upper mid space rather than simply turning the music down. Produce platform loudness variants from the same licensed WAV so the TikTok, Reel, and YouTube versions match, and never ship a version containing the watermarked preview.
Traffic only licensed finals, and keep the license ID in the campaign folder next to the media plan. If a platform flags the creative or a whitelisted creator handle, dispute with the license ID and verification URL and email support with the license ID, verification URL, and ad URL. Deliver the mixed creative, never the standalone WAV, since audio resale is excluded.
Clearance for buyers and brand legal
Brand legal asks two questions: do we have the rights, and can we prove it fast. The license PDF answers the first with tier, named project, terms version, hash, timestamp, Master ID, and SHA-256. The verification URL answers the second: a public page anyone can open without an account. The composition is public domain, so no publisher clearance or royalty reporting enters the picture.
From the enforcement side, our masters are not registered with Content ID and we claim no ad revenue from licensed uses, which protects both the brand channel and creator whitelisting from our side. Third party matches against other recordings of the same public-domain work remain possible at scale, and the verification URL plus our 10 business day release efforts on complete notices are the documented remedy. One Commercial payment per track, no impression based fees.

FAQ
Can I run this music in paid social ads?
Yes, with Commercial or higher. The Commercial tier explicitly covers music inside paid web and social advertising. Creator excludes music inside paid ad creative, so any cut headed for paid placements must be licensed or upgraded to Commercial first. Broadcast placements need Broadcast and Film.
My agency makes ads for many brands. How many licenses?
Each client needs its own license per track, because multi project use applies to the same licensee. One Commercial license per track can cover a single client's campaign cutdowns and organic versions, but a second brand needs a separate license. Keep each PDF and verification URL in the matching client file.
What does a Classical Sync license cover?
You license our software rendered master recording for one named project under the tier you buy, perpetual and worldwide. Creator ($29 one time) covers one project or series, including monetized YouTube with platform served ads, streaming podcasts, and wedding videos. Commercial ($99 one time) adds client and freelance work, music inside paid web and social advertising, small business marketing, and multi project use for the same licensee. Broadcast and Film ($499 one time) adds TV, radio, cinema, theatrical film, festivals, streaming and VOD productions, and broadcast advertising. Title to the recording stays with Magnolia Apps LLC. Every tier delivers the WAV, the license PDF, and a public verification URL.
Will this music trigger a YouTube Content ID claim?
Our masters are not registered with Content ID as reference files, so a licensed use starts claim free from our side. If a claim still appears, email licensing@thepodcastapp.dev with your license ID, your public verification URL, and the video URL. We use commercially reasonable efforts to release our claim within 10 business days of a complete notice. Third party or automated platform claims can still occur on any platform, and that pledge covers our own enrollment of the delivered master.
Do I have to credit the composer or Classical Sync?
No attribution is required. The underlying compositions are in the public domain, and you license only our recording of them from Magnolia Apps LLC. A credit line such as the track title and composer is welcome but optional. What you must not do is register the recording with a PRO, Content ID, or fingerprinting service, resell it as a standalone audio product or sample library, or sublicense it beyond delivering your named project.
What files do I receive after checkout?
Every license includes the licensed WAV (delivered by a 15 minute signed download URL and by email), a license PDF that records the terms version, hash, timestamp, Master ID, and SHA-256, plus a public verification URL of the form /verify?id= that proves the license to YouTube, clients, or distributors. Checkout runs through Stripe, one payment per track, with a 14 day money back guarantee. Keep the license ID with your project files so any dispute can be answered in one email.
