Watch out for

- After you cancel, you can't use downloaded tracks in NEW projects. Old projects stay covered.
- Add your YouTube channel BEFORE you cancel. You can't add it afterwards without resubscribing.
- Music must be background on streams: no DJ sets or listening parties.
- Twitch VOD mutes aren't handled by Soundstripe; you appeal to Twitch yourself.
- Soundstripe's pages disagree on some details: channel counts per plan, and whether sponsored segments are covered on lower plans.
