Pretzel Review: Up Your Twitch Game with Custom Music
Enjoy the Sound of Victory
Greetings, friends! N3rdRag3 here to tell you about a sure-fire way to make your Twitch channel even more awesome than it already is: music. “Music?” you say? “But N3rdRag3, I already play music from my computer during my stream — I’ve got it covered.” But I’m here to tell you if you’re not using the right music (i.e. music that is properly licensed and approved for streaming) you risk your content being taken down under DMCA Guidelines.
TL;DR — Click here for music safe for your streams and YouTube!
Sound complicated? It can be, unless you have a library of music that’s pre-approved for Twitch — aka, Pretzel, which is what I’m going to tell you all about today. When not being a salty, carb-y (not to mention delicious with cheese or chocolate) snack, Pretzel is the world’s largest catalogue of Twitch- and YouTube-safe music. I started using Pretzel in February 2022 for my Twitch streams, and have been rocking it ever since 😎.
When I stream I’m always afraid of being hit with copyright strikes or worse because of what I choose to use or play during stream, but with Pretzel I can stream and vibe without worrying about if I’ll get punished for the music I play which translates to better vibes and more hype on stream to have fun and be myself!
All sounds pretty great, right? If you’re ready to give Pretzel a try (which you totally should), they offer two tiers of membership: Free and Premium. In the Free plan, you get:
- 40,000 Twitch safe tracks
- 5,000 YouTube safe tracks
- 10 stations; rotating weekly/bi-weekly
- Likes + Surprise Me stations
In the Premium plan, you get:
- 370,000+ Twitch safe tracks
- 10,000+ YouTube safe tracks (once the APM deal is closed and music is live)
- 51+ stations
- Likes + Surprise Me stations
You get a lot more options both for Twitch, YouTube, and stations in the Premium plan. My favorite feature of this membership is the catered playlists of the Pro plan and the wide range of genre playlists available.
Just click and vibe!

The usual cost of a Premium membership is $14.99/mo or $149/year, but if you sign up through my link you’ll save 20% on either a monthly (12 consecutive months) or annual subscription . That’s a year of worry-free music to stream to your heart’s desire.
If you have any questions about how I use Pretzel, what I love/don’t love about it, hit me up in the comments below or on Twitch or Twitter. Happy streaming, folks!
