What a podcast needs from music
The intro (10–20 s)
The one piece you'll reuse every episode, so it's worth getting right. It should say what the show feels like before anyone speaks: warm and chatty (Lo-fi), driven and newsy (Upbeat), story-led (Cinematic), calm and reflective (Ambient).
The outro (15–30 s)
Often a sibling of the intro: same mood, a different track, with room to say where people can find you.
Stings and transitions (5–15 s)
Short cues between segments or before an ad read. Make a 15-second track and use its opening or ending.
Beds under the talk
Optional and easy to overdo. If you use one, keep it far below the voices; the levels guide shows how.
[ Where shows get music ]
Free tracks, libraries, or your own
Free intro tracks (podcast hosts, free music sites) cost nothing, but popular ones open many other shows, and some need a credit in every episode's notes.
Stock libraries have huge choice. You pay per track or by subscription, and the track can show up in other podcasts and ads.
A composed track is made for your show only. With Melodify it takes seconds and you can hear it before signing up; the trade-off is fewer styles than a library and no vocals or jingles with your show's name sung.

[ Questions ]
Short answers
How long should a podcast intro be?
Most intros work at 10 to 20 seconds of music: long enough to set the tone, short enough that listeners don't skip. Pick 15 seconds in Melodify and talk over the last few seconds, or let it finish before the first words.
Can I use the track on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube?
Yes. Once the track is unlocked on a paid plan, the royalty-free license covers your episodes on every platform, including monetized and sponsored shows. What you can't do is release the track on its own as music.
Do I need to credit Melodify in my show notes?
No. Attribution isn't required on paid plans. A mention is always welcome, but it's up to you.
Should every episode have the same intro?
Yes, for the intro: the same few seconds every week is how listeners recognize your show. Use different background tracks for segments, ads and the outro.
Can I get music to play under the conversation?
Yes. Choose Ambient or Lo-fi and describe it as background ("soft, stays out of the way"). Then keep it very low under voices, or only under transitions.
