About HITBOO

Why we exist

Every stock music library is a search box in front of a hundred thousand tracks. You do not want a hundred thousand tracks. You want the one that fits the thirty seconds you are cutting, and you want to know, without ringing a lawyer, whether you are allowed to use it.

So HITBOO asks what you are creating rather than what genre you want, and answers with music that has already been through a rights review for that exact use. If a feature makes you think about music instead of about your project, it is the wrong feature.

How it works

1. Describe the project. "A 30-second Instagram ad for an electric car, premium and optimistic." Not a genre, not a mood wheel.
2. Listen to everything, free. The whole recording, with no account — because a business scoring a two-minute cut has to hear whether the track still works at 1:40.
3. License it. $29 for a track, $99 for a whole album. Paid once, worldwide, in perpetuity.
4. Get the certificate and the master. The certificate is issued the moment the payment clears and verifies publicly for ever; the file is yours to download from your account whenever you need it again.

The rights review

This is the part that matters, and it is the part most libraries leave to a checkbox. Music does not become licensable here because somebody uploaded it, and it does not become licensable because somebody wants to pay for it.

An artist offers a recording and answers a declaration about it — who owns the master, who owns the composition, whether anyone else sang on it, whether it contains samples, what part AI played. Then a person reviews that declaration and grants specific coverage. An artist can never clear their own music.

And coverage is not one switch. Putting a record under a video is a different right from playing it aloud in a shop, which is a different right again from broadcasting it. A track cleared for a YouTube video is not cleared for a hotel lobby, and nothing in this system will ever quietly widen one into the other.

What a licence actually gives you

Digital commercial use: video, social, advertising, podcasts, websites, corporate film, games and apps. Worldwide, in perpetuity, for your business, with no renewal to forget.

Broadcast, cinema and public performance are deliberately not sold by a button. Those need terms written for the customer, so they are arranged with a person — write to info@hitboo.com.

What a licence grants is always the narrower of what you bought and what the review granted, so a certificate never claims more than the artist gave. We will not write "all rights globally cleared" on anything, because for almost no recording is it true.

A certificate anyone can check

Every licence has a number like HITBOO-XXXXXXXX, and anyone you show it to can verify it at hitboo.com with no account — a client, an agency, a broadcaster's clearance desk. It states what the licence covers and what it excludes.

Licences are frozen at the moment they are issued. If the terms change later, or the artist withdraws the recording, a certificate already issued keeps saying exactly what it said when you bought it. That is the whole point of having one.

Where the music comes from

From the artists themselves. They publish their recordings on the operator's artist platform and choose, deliberately and separately, to offer them for commercial licensing here. Nothing is swept in: an artist who has not opted in has no music on HITBOO, and being on HITBOO grants no rights to train AI on anyone's music — that would need its own explicit agreement.
