# Hymn recordings — credits and licenses

Every recording played on Still Waters is free of copyright: the tunes and words are centuries old, and the recordings themselves are in the public domain or dedicated to it (CC0). Files were normalised in loudness and re-encoded to MP3; nothing else was changed.
