Hey there! With the recent issue of music licensing for the maps and videos that contain replays of them, I'm compiling a free-to-use list of songs for mappers to browse in addition to the songs on the Feature Artists page. I want to make it clear about which songs are ok to be used for mapping. Some artists have already posted their statements about their songs' terms of use but they are quite scattered around on Twitter and other places. I think it would be nice to compile all of the songs and artists' usage agreements in one place.

If anyone wants to help out please feel free to contact me!

Free-to-use Google Sheets:

Website:
[WIP]

I hope this will make it easier to find free songs that can be mapped without issues as well as introduce new artists. Please go support the artists if you like their music!,

this is rly cool tho seatrus is literally a feature artist why are they marked as contact artist

i suggest linking albums instead tho cuz
a) the list is not gonna be a little bit more organized in the long run
b) it's gonna encourage mappers to purchase the mp3 for the songs

All the songs on the seatrus's featured artist page are ok to use in osu! but there are also others that he produced for free downloads like his Lifescape EP. Seatrus wrote in his soundcloud to pls contact about the use of music regardless of profit or non-profit so I'm not sure if this is ok or not. Bc free download doesn't necessarily mean redistributing them like uploading to osu! is allowed.

edit:
a) The sheet is just for storing all the songs for now, I'll be building a website for searching all the songs that would include osu originals and the ones in featured artists as well so it'll be easier to find songs.

b) I don't think buying the mp3s of the songs would necessarily allow them to be uploaded to osu but I'm including ones that have purchase links whenever possible. + some albums have multiple artists so the usage of each songs are subject to the respective artist's agreements.
