Twitch Creates 500-Song Online 'Free-to-Use' Music Library

Twitch created an online library of “free-to-use” music, it said in a news release. The music is intended for Twitch users creating their own videos, it said Thursday. The Twitch Music Library has more than 500 songs “provided by established and burgeoning labels,” Twitch said. “Twitch will be continually adding to this library as more music industry partners become part of the system.” The tracks in the library “will not be flagged by the audio recognition system implemented in 2014 to protect audio copyright holders,” Twitch said. Along with the library, Twitch has created a new video category for user-created and -performed music, said the company.
