Film and television music is an important part of the music industry, and involves both production music and background music that are used to accompany action on the screen, whether it be for a motion picture or an hour-long drama, mini-series or other program on television. Purchasing music rights from major music providers to use music for film and television can be incredibly expensive for producers and directors and often involves monthly fees. The other alternative to buying the rights to use individual pieces of film and television music is hiring a composer to create an original score, which can be even more expensive than buying pre-recorded and produced pieces of music for film and television and typically involves a long process of working with not only the composer but the musicians and producers involved in creating the music.

Royalty free music is quickly becoming the standard for not only small budget films and television programs but also for major motion pictures with more money to spend. First-rate royalty free film and television music gives film and television professionals a great deal of flexibility because of its affordability and originality. Royalty free music makes it possible for producers, directors and project coordinators to pay a one-time low fee rather than a monthly one to buy all the rights to use the music in any professional project for a lifetime. This process of buying inexpensive tracks or albums of royalty free film and television music provides individuals with the option to build large professional music libraries and is particularly well-suited for television projects and films with sequels because of the opportunity to create on-going regular musical themes that can be used throughout countless years of film-making.

There are many compilations and unique pieces of royalty free film and television music that will compliment everything from feature films, documentaries and independent films to news specials, dramas, situation comedies and any other television project that would benefit from the addition of inexpensive royalty free music. The music listings on this page represents a listing of the many tracks of film and television music available to professionals and can help ease the search through this library of nearly 1000 royalty free music tracks.
