The best platform is the one that removes the track from sale, transfers the exclusive final master in writing and gives you verifiable proof. Price matters, but only after these three points.
- •Full buyout: ownership of the exclusive final master
- •€29.90 one-time, no subscription
- •100% unpublished track
- •Permanent removal from the catalogue after purchase
- •Ownership certificate verifiable online
1. Real exclusivity
Ask whether the track was ever sold, streamed or placed in a library. "Exclusive" should mean nobody else has it.
2. Removal from sale
Without removal, the same track can be sold again. On Sonify Music the track leaves the catalogue at purchase.
3. Rights transferred
Look for transfer of the exclusive final master, not a permission to use.
4. Proof
A named certificate with an online verification code helps you document ownership with platforms and clients.
5. Price and speed
Ghost marketplaces and custom work typically cost hundreds of euros. A Sonify Music buyout costs €29.90 one-time with instant download.
