Opuzz also actively serves educational institutes, government agencies, churches, non-profit organizations and podcasters needing legally acquired music that is royalty free.

Opuzz was one of the early libraries to launch its service on the web in 2001 featuring music downloads with downloadable demos and online previews for its entire library. This was in response to the growing trend of music downloads first launched by Sony in 2000 for commercial music. The ease of having buyout music available on the Internet with immediate downloads was applauded by producers and web and multimedia developer community. Traditionally, licensing music through needledrop libraries required you to open an account and having stacks of CDs shipped to you for selection. An alternative was to hire music supervisors to help you through the selection and licensing process. Traditional offline buyout libraries mostly provided hardcopy catalogs of their packages. With music libraries going online in today's ecommerce age, it is now possible to preview every track before purchase and most importantly, as and when needed.
