[![Sound-exchange-logo](https://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20240a49e7abd200d-200wi "Sound-exchange-logo")](https://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20240a49e7abd200d-popup?ref=hypebot.com)SoundExchange and SourceAudio have partnered to license music for podcasts. Podcastmusic.com, a digital music marketplace for podcasters, will now have access to SoundExchange creators and offer licenses for label and publisher-owned music. The collaboration will enhance Podcastmusic.com's current database of 700,000 production and music bed tracks by providing a global license for all rights needed to use feature music in a podcast, including master use, performance, synchronization, and mechanical rights."The podcast industry is rapidly growing, and this collaboration will provide SoundExchange's music creators – both labels and publishers – with an additional way to monetize their work by making their music available on Podcastmusic.com if they choose," said **Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange.** "Our collaboration with SourceAudio will make the process of licensing music simpler through a one-stop licensing marketplace.""Currently there is no simple way for a podcaster to acquire rights for feature music in their podcasts. We are solving that by working with SoundExchange," said **Geoffrey Grotz, CEO/Co-Founder of SourceAudio**. "By connecting with SoundExchange's community of music creators including labels, artists, publishers and songwriters, and benefitting from their deep expertise, we will be able to deliver a high-quality repertoire of music for podcasters." The service will launch in 2020\. Participation in this service by publishers, labels, and other rights owners is on a voluntary basis.
