USPS First-Class Mail (FREE) in the Continental US usually takes 3-6 business days.

Each physical CD (data CD-ROM) order includes a license (like above), the audio masters (like above), and FREE USPS First-Class shipping (expedited shipping available in cart). To keep costs/prices low, our CDs are delivered in a plain, recyclable sleeve and mailer.

For custom license orders, we accept Credit Cards and Direct Cash Payments through PayPal, or Checks by postal mail.

Where do you get your music?
We collect our music from the most talented independent composers, bands, solo artists and record labels on the globe. You'll find music on Primary Elements that's not available anywhere else, and at very competitive prices. If there's a style of music you can't find, please submit a request to our Producers' Wish List.


Where are your "GrooveElements" Flash music loops?
Currently, our famous GrooveElements™ loops are only available as Bonus Loops on certain Royalty-Free CD Collections. Check out our SpotMagic and ExtremeCuts CDs, and there are also some loopable tracks on our InfiniteLoops CD. Need something looped? We can help!


What is "Royalty-Free" or "Buy-Out" music license?
In a nutshell, Royalty-Free Buy-Out music means you only pay once!

With one payment for a particular market use (using one of our 5 licenses), you are cleared to use the music as many times as you want, for 100 years, without having to ever pay any additional fees, such as royalties to writers, composers or musicians, as long as you don't use the music beyond what the original license grants.

Our licenses don't grant you ownership of the music and the copyright remains with the original composer/publisher, but you can use the music as much as you want!

If you're not sure which license applies to your production, just ask us!
