What exactly does royalty free mean when I need put my tracks into a shopping cart? I have been using https://bensound.com https://bensound.com, which is much

  Royalty free just means that you don't have to pay every time you play it. You pay a simple flat rate. It's no different than purchasing a stock photo, or stock sound effects.

    Fair enough, but that is my use case. I find 'royalty free' misleading.

      This is the standard use of "royalty free". I think you're in error here, not the site.

  +1 for bensound.com (no affiliation either). Per my understanding of their terms [0] the free tracks can be used in YT videos as long as you credit them. Unfortunately, the tracks that can be retrieved without subscription are a precious few but I found them rather pleasing. Been doing a bit of research on the topic lately and haven't come up with sites as permissive as bensound.com. Anyone else aware of similar ones?
