In short. Marmoset licenses music for film, ads and online video, and runs a subscription called Track Club. As of October 2026, its submission form is paused while the team works through a backlog. When it opens, you share links to your music on streaming platforms. Marmoset says its music is made by humans, not AI. Its public pages do not state the artist deal.

How to join

When checked on 26 October 2026, the submissions page said: "Marmoset is currently taking some time to catch up and listen to the unprecedented number of submissions in our system. We will open the form up again once we have managed to get through this backlog."

When the form is open, the help page says: "We listen to every song submission and will reach out if we think your music is a good fit for our current needs." The form asks for links to the streaming platforms you use.

Composers for custom scores have their own note. Marmoset says it tends "to discover and develop our own talent", but it takes submissions through the same page. Send only your best work, "ideally" as videos. Say how you approach scoring to picture.

In July 2022, a Track Club page said the team took submissions "during a one week window each month". Check the submissions page for the current state.

AI-generated music

In its March 2026 letter to artists and clients, Marmoset wrote: "Humans create music here, not AI and algorithms." A 2024 post says Marmoset uses AI to help find and curate music for clients.

Files and metadata

A 2022 Marmoset post says stems are available for every track on Track Club. Buyers change the volume of each stem in the app. Have stems ready for each track you offer.

Codes, Content ID and royalties

Marmoset's help page says a YouTube claim can come from Marmoset for music used without a license. Some claims show "Quarterlab on behalf of Marmoset". It also says: "Many artists that Marmoset represents retain the right to monetize their music on YouTube and not every claim can be removed." So many of its artists keep their own YouTube monetization. See YouTube Content ID.

What to keep in your catalog

  • For each track, who monetizes it on YouTube: you, your distributor, or Marmoset's partner.
  • The date a track leaves the catalog. A 2022 Marmoset post describes "The 10% Curation Event": twice a year, it removes "the worst performing 10%" of songs from Marmoset and Track Club.
  • The date you submitted and the links you sent, once the form reopens.
  • Your deal terms in writing, since the public pages do not state them.
