Musicbed Reviews

Musicbed content is great. However, some issues can be annoying. If I may, I suggest to make a filter for the “favorite” songs, that orders songs as most recent or in alphabetical order (this feature is in the website by the way, but not in Musicbed ).
Another thing is that when the phone locks, and you reopen it while music is playing, you cannot change from where you want the song to start, unless you quit the song and reopen it.

So I got Bose Bluetooth headphones for Christmas and anytime I put the phone to sleep and use the headphones for audio control it locks out the play/pause, etc buttons so I can’t control Musicbed anymore when I go back into Musicbed to move playlists or add criteria to browse songs more to my liking. Love Musicbed . Love what you guys do. Love the subscription option. Love that Musicbed no longer eats GB of data when on the road. Can you fix the Bluetooth issue? Please?

Update: I just got word that they fixed these issues, but I have yet to test it out. I’ll switch my 1 star rating to 3 for now :)

Musicbed could be useful, but it constantly glitches and makes me quit and input all my music preferences all over again. Also, the text is incredibly hard to read when choosing what preferences you want.

Hi there, love Musicbed . Really makes the most sense given most of my time conceiving ideas is done on walks, drives and in the shower. You've got me covered two out of three, yay.

Now where did the guest curated playlists go? I know this might seem like a silly request but until there are other implements for finding that perfect song, this had easily become my favorite way to listen to music on Musicbed..Pick a filmmaker and listen to their playlist. It wouldn't hurt if you could even save their playlists for easy retrieval later. I can live with the rest. Thanks guys.

When I go to add a new song to an existing set of playlists that I’ve curated over the years, it prompts me to create a new playlist to add that song to instead; every song does this, and it doesn’t even list out the existing ones I’d like to add them to, thus spamming my playlist view when I’m forced to create a new playlist. Very annoying. Will rate higher once fixed. Thanks.

I use to license this app tracks for big budget clients, now I use the membership and get to provide this app tracks for every client I work with. Such a game changer in helping elevate my work. Love Musicbed and being able to share playlists. 5 stars!

This is not a 5 star review, this is so my review actually gets posted. My rating is 3 stars. In the new update, there is no instrumental or vocal only filter. In order to do either, I have to include or exclude every vocal filter, very annoying.

App works great. Filters are super difficult to read when browsing with dark mode turned on. Other than that, A+

Love Musicbed ! Can’t see filters in dark mode. Have to change to light mode each time I use Musicbed . But it’s great! Would love more nuanced cinematic, orchestral music (quirky, suspense, etc.). Thanks for such a great service!

The Type color and Background color of every ‘Filters’ tab are a dark. Don’t think there’s much more to say. Other than that, great app,

Really great library, but for first time users they have a bug still around that was reported 2 years ago in the reviews.

WORKAROUND:
Just finish the “tell us about yourself” part on the web and then Musicbed will load fine!

Bug: They put the “start listening” button for first time users in a spot that cant be tapped on iphone x so I can’t use Musicbed .

..but it hasn't been working in months. When it was functional I licensed from Music Bed exclusively, it was an amazing tool. Sad it has been abandoned.
Update: bugs bugs bugs bugs, music! Bugs bugs bugs bugs

Tried everything I could but get stuck on the sign up screen and can’t click start listening no mater what I do. So can’t even use Musicbed unfortunately

Trying to add a song to a project or even trying to load a project gives you the "spinning loading" thing without any results. Quitting is the only way out.

Couldn’t even go past the sign in because a button wouldn’t work so I can’t use Musicbed now

Unable to get past a mandatory questionnaire as a new user because a button is unclickable.

Musicbed is slick-looking if slightly confusing, and nothing crashed. The search yielded results, but after several tries with different search terms all producing the same exact results list in the same exact sequence, I gave up on that.

So can you actually buy a song? I don't know! There's nothing obvious... You'd pretty much think Musicbed is nothing but a music player. After fiddling around and trying to uncover hidden options, the best I could discover was an option to "request" a license from an artist. What? Maybe my expectations were off, but I was expecting some pricing. If I have to go and hunt for a license, I'm just going to do it at a site that prices right there for me, where I don't have to wait for some mysterious reply... Assuming Musicbed will even send the message, which, who knows, considering how confusing the options were.

with a beautiful design and unique layout, the Music Bed exists as a goldmine for relevant music to find it's home... (& rest in, haha).

while curating vast amounts of songs from all sorts of genres, cultures, and vibes, this collection of soundscapes & melodies provides a stellar place for musicians to thrive in- and a go-to catalogue for filmmakers of all kinds.

the Music Bed is not perfect, however (but what is?). slight bugs occur here and there; such as issues with delayed streaming, and app strength (as far as the way it runs, I mean), but these should only prove to be small annoyances in an overall wonderful experience.

I know that the team behind the Music Bed is hard at work, and I believe that they are always trying to be the best they can be. I'm so impressed by the quality of the content they continually provide, and I am so thankful to have the Music Bed as a resource.

this is a must download.
I think that it's a platform for our industry's innovation, and it constantly proves itself to be worthwhile.

thanks, Music Bed!
keep up the great work!!

Amazing musical hub! Not so good business. After finding two great songs to purchase then going through the basic questions of what the music would be used for, I later received a few emails questioning me again about how I would use the music as if I didn't already specify that on the questioning part of the purchasing process. I encourage the business to ask more detailed questions before allowing people to purchase music so there's no loose ends to tighten up after consumers have already paid for product. You guys lost a new customer who planned to spend a lot of money with the company because business wasn't handled correctly. The time you spent interrogating me via email, could of been the time spent simply applying those questions to the website before allowing buyers to purchase. EASY FIX. Best of luck Faith Kindervag!

Really great tool for searching and listening to music. As a wedding filmmaker, I am constantly looking for music for my videos. Musicbed allows me to listen on the go.

I've read reviews complaining that it doesn't have the ability to license the song from your phone, but why would you want to? Just go to your computer where you can actually do something with the song you're trying to license.

The only thing I wish was different about Musicbed is that I would LOVE an iPad version and would also like for them to update it to suit the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen size.

I would give Musicbed an app a 5, but a couple things are lacking and their support team didn’t seem to know anything about iOS 13 dark mode and told me they don’t support it. This causes an issue where the filters are illegible unless you switch iOS 13 back to light mode. The iPad app also doesn’t support landscape mode. Both issues seem pretty simple to fix. Otherwise this is a great app with a lot of music for your projects.

I love this site and the companion app, but there is one small element I wish was included. While browsing music I wish there was an option for tempo. If I'm searching for a suspenseful cinematic score but I want it to be slow placed, I have to browse all music and listen by ear. I'd rather have the ability to select my tempo. Other than that absolutely awesome.
