LicenseCousin - Royalty-free music finder extension
One click on YouTube to find free-to-use music that sounds like what you're hearing
- Problem
- Video and podcast creators often love a song but are unsure if they can use it, and don't know where to find similar license-free alternatives. A developer already built a free service, and users want a more convenient path: a one-click lookup right while browsing YouTube.
- Solution
- A browser extension that, while you listen on YouTube or SoundCloud, extracts audio features and matches five similar-sounding royalty-free tracks with license details and download links. No manual upload or link copying required.
- Users
- Video creators, podcasters, indie game developers, and social media managers
- MVP
- Extension reads the current playback page audio; local or lightweight service extracts features; matches a royalty-free library and shows five results; each result shows license type and source link; one-click download or copy license info
- Revenue
- Free limited daily lookups plus Pro subscription for unlimited matches and batch export; affiliate commissions from royalty-free music platforms
- Why now
- Short video and indie podcasting are exploding, yet licensing commercial music remains expensive and complex. Audio fingerprinting and feature matching are mature enough to run on personal computers or low-cost services.
