A noticeboard of free music. No account, no ads, nothing to sign up for.
The music
Purrple Cat is a solo lofi project that started in December 2018 with the album Up All Night. Since then: 500+ songs, 500M+ streams and 425K followers. No face reveal, just the purple cat on the covers.
This board holds 356 tracks from 35 self-released Purrple Cat records, 16 h 34 min in all, streamed full length and free to download as MP3.
The flyers
Each flyer’s 12 tracks were picked from how they sound: how lively they are, how bright or warm, how steady, and how long. Those numbers come from the audio itself, so “upbeat” and “warm” mean something.

Tabs you tear off go into your pocket, which lives only in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Questions
- Is this music really free?
- Yes. All 356 tracks here are free to stream, download and use. There’s no sign-up, no email, no paid tier and no download limit. The one thing you owe is a credit line.
- What does “free royalty free music” mean?
- Royalty free means you don’t pay a fee each time the music is played or viewed. Most royalty free music still costs money up front. Free royalty free music skips that too: no fee up front and no royalties after. Here the licence is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).
- Do I have to credit Purrple Cat?
- Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks for credit, and that’s the whole price. Something like “Music by Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0” in your description, caption, show notes or credits is enough.
- Can I use it in monetized videos and streams?
- Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, so monetized videos, livestreams, sponsors and ads on your content are fine. Your channel still has to follow each platform’s own rules.
- Will I get a Content ID claim?
- Not from Purrple Cat. These Self Releases are not registered in YouTube Content ID, so Purrple Cat won’t claim your video. Once in a while a third party falsely claims a track. If that happens, dispute it with the licence and your credit line.
- What’s not allowed?
- Uploading the music, or remixes, samples or covers of it, to music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music. That causes false Content ID claims for everyone who uses the music, Purrple Cat included.
- Can I download the music?
- Yes. Every track has an MP3 download, full length, no watermark, no preview clip.
- Is the music made with AI?
- No. Every track is Purrple Cat’s own music.
