We had a fairly extensive music library which had a $3,000 yearly license fee. Of course, every once in a while a client would come back and say, "You know this music you use in our video, it's the same music used by a commercial on TV." In the most extreme cases I had to re-edit the piece and lay down a different music track. And yes, in one case we had to hire a musician to create a custom sound for a client who refused to use our music library. Good times.
