What is Source Audio?
Updated August 2, 2009

The Problem: Discovering and licensing tracks available for license in commercial media is a complicated, confusing, and somewhat inaccessible experience.
The Solution: SourceAudio seeks to solve this by creating a centralized online reference destination and social marketplace where users can easily discover tracks and license them for use in commercial media.
Today users can access SourceAudio from any web browser where they can search, discover, tag, save, send, download and license tracks from one of many music catalogs. Users can expect tracks to constantly be added from new and existing catalogs and in the future independent musicians, artists, and bands as we continue our product roll-out. Our goal is to simplify a complicated but very important part of the media creation process and we’re excited to maximize the opportunities a platform like this makes possible!
