(03)Is this allowed?

The rules, in full.

Purrple Cat's music is free on all social media (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, X and the rest) and in businesses, with credit, under CC BY 4.0. Here's everything you can and can't do.

Can I…?

Tap what you have in mind.

Allowed

Yes, free.

CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, including background music in a business. Credit Purrple Cat somewhere customers can see it, like a counter card or your menu.

Go ahead

  • Play it in my café, shop or salon. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, including background music in a business. Credit Purrple Cat somewhere customers can see it, like a counter card or your menu.
  • Use it as phone hold music. Same rule: it's fine, just credit Purrple Cat, for example on your website or your contact page.
  • Use it in ads and promo videos. Ads, product videos and reels for your business are commercial use, which CC BY 4.0 allows. Put the credit line in the caption or description.
  • Monetise YouTube videos or Twitch streams. Monetised videos and streams are allowed. Purrple Cat Self Releases aren't registered in Content ID, so there shouldn't be a claim. If a false claim ever shows up, report it and it's dealt with promptly.
  • Use it in videos I make for clients. Freelancers and agencies can use it in client work. Make sure the credit line travels with the video, in its description or end card.
  • Cut, loop or fade it to fit. Edits for your own videos, ads and in-store loops are fine. CC BY asks you to note that changes were made: the generator below adds “edited” for you.
  • Play it at an event, pop-up or market stall. Put a credit on a sign at your stand, or in the event programme.
  • Loop it on in-store screens or digital signage. Add the credit as a line on screen or on a nearby sign.
  • Play the Spotify albums out loud in my shop. Purrple Cat's licence allows business use. Many consumer streaming apps are licensed for personal listening only, so check the terms of the app you play it through. The simple route: play downloaded files, or this page's in-store player.

Never

  • Use it without any credit. Credit is the one condition of CC BY 4.0. Copy the line from the generator: it takes ten seconds.
  • Upload it to Spotify, Apple Music or other streaming services. Please never re-upload or release the music on streaming services, through a distributor or otherwise. It causes false Content ID claims for everyone else who uses it.
  • Release a remix, sample or cover on streaming. Remixes, samples and covers released to streaming services cause the same false Content ID claims, so please don't release them there.
  • Register it in Content ID or claim videos with it. This music isn't yours to claim, and Purrple Cat Self Releases are not in Content ID at all. A claim on one is a false claim.
  • Say I made it, or sell it as my own music. Always credit Purrple Cat as the artist, and don't re-release or resell the tracks as music of your own.

Why so strict about streaming? Re-uploads, remixes, samples and covers on Spotify, Apple Music and other services get fingerprinted, and then false Content ID claims hit everyone else using the music. Purrple Cat Self Releases have no Content ID, and false claims are dealt with promptly when reported.

The right credit, for every spot.

Choose where the credit goes and it writes the wording for you, from a counter sign to a video description. Every version includes the standard line: “Music: Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0”.

Files for the shop computer.

For long opening hours or a venue with patchy Wi-Fi, download the albums and play them offline. These are the official Purrple Cat pages; each shows the licence for that release.

(08)FAQ

Business questions, straight answers.

Do I have to pay a licence fee to play this music?
Not to Purrple Cat. Purrple Cat Self Releases are licensed by the artist under CC BY 4.0, and that licence is the artist's permission to use the music, including commercially, as long as you give credit. It costs nothing and needs no sign-up.
What about music licensing bodies and collection societies?
Rules for background music in businesses differ from country to country, and some venues hold blanket licences for other music anyway. We can't give legal advice for where you are, so check your local rules. If anyone asks, the CC BY 4.0 licence and your credit line show that the artist has given permission.
Will my videos or streams get a Content ID claim?
Purrple Cat Self Releases are not registered in Content ID, so there shouldn't be any. If a false claim ever appears (usually because someone re-uploaded the music where they shouldn't), report it and it's dealt with promptly. Dispute it with the CC BY 4.0 licence and your credit line.
Can I monetise videos, streams and ads that use it?
Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, so monetised YouTube videos, Twitch streams, sponsored posts, ads and client work are all fine with credit.
Where exactly do I put the credit?
Anywhere a reasonable person would see it: a counter card, the foot of a menu, your website, a video description, a stream panel or overlay, or podcast show notes. The generator on this page writes the right line for each spot.
What's the exact credit line?
“Music: Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0”. You can add the track or album name, and a link to the licence where links are possible.
Can I edit, loop or shorten the tracks?
Yes, for your own videos, ads and in-store loops. CC BY asks you to say that you changed it, so add “edited” to the credit. What you can't do is release a remix, sample or cover on streaming services.
Can I play the Spotify albums in my shop?
The music itself is fine to play in a business. Streaming apps are a separate question: many consumer apps are licensed for personal listening only, so check the terms of whatever you play it through. Downloaded files or this page's in-store player keep it simple.
Which music is covered?
The 34 Purrple Cat Self Releases on this page, from Up All Night (2018) to City Nights 3 (2026). Music Purrple Cat released through other labels isn't listed here and may have different terms.
What does it sound like?
Dreamy chillwave and ambient downtempo lofi: soft piano, wide pads and slow, deep grooves. No vocals to talk over, nothing jarring, which is why it works as background music.
Do I need to tell anyone I'm using it?
No. There's nothing to register. Credit it and you're set. Sharing a photo of your counter card is always appreciated, though.
Does lofi.biz track me?
No. There are no cookies, analytics or ads. Your player volume is saved only in your own browser, and the Spotify players load only when you press preview.
