Content ID & Monetization

⚠ Monetization is not available

All tracks on Sunshine Audio are registered with Content ID (CID) systems. This means that if you use our music on YouTube or other platforms, the track may be automatically claimed and you will not be able to monetize your video with ads.

The music is still completely free to use — you simply cannot earn ad revenue from videos containing it. If monetization is important to you, please do not use our tracks.
