Territory - filter content based on the country you are based in and the country you are competing in.

Recording Type - filter Remixes, Instrumentals, Acapella’s etc.
Mood - filter music based on various moods. You can also click the Mood on the track to filter.
Vocalisation Type - filter by High-Low vocal presence.
Parental Advisory - filter explicit / non-explicit content.
Record Label - filter by the record label the music is released by.
Rights Add ons - filter by the rights that are additionally available. Please note, Online video is available to Teams/Athletes but Live Streaming and Video on Demand is a license available to the Event Organiser. If you are attending an event that is being live streamed or released on a video on demand platform, it is best to choose music that has those rights available for the Event Organiser to increase the likelihood of your music being played with the video, rather than muted.
BPM - filter by the beats per minute / speed of the music.
Year - filter by release year.
Filters can be deselected by clicking the "X" to the right of the filter or, all deselected at once by clicking "Clear Filters"
Please note, multiple filters can be selected at once in order to narrow your search for the perfect music.
