Looking for free, royalty free music d/l for a video. Anyone know any good sources?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Try archive.org: there you can find all of the music that is royalty free:

Everything I was looking for, I found on this site.

Hi,

There are important distinctions in regards to Royalty Free Music. The two keywords are "Free And Royalty Free" and "Royalty Free"

1 - "Free AND Royalty Free Music" means you can browse music and download it and use it under a Creative Commons License. Notice in this sentence, there is no mention of payment. Essentially, you need to look for "Free" And "Royalty Free" Music, and not just "Royalty Free".

Pros: Quickly Find music to use, doesn't require any payment

Cons: Selection is not as large as the pay sites. Need to credit the composer.

Many excellent composers and musicians use this method to build their network and build their base of contacts. In other words, it's a networking tool for them.

A couples sites like this:

http://www.incompetech.com

2 - "Royalty Free Music" (without the "Free" part) means you can buy the music, and then use it, royalty free.

Normally a royalty is paid everytime the music is broadcast. So in this case, you are paying an upfront fee (much more expensive than iTunes) in order to not have to pay the usage license every time your work is broadcast.

Pros: Quickly find music to use.

Cons: Can costs a lot of money for the 'license'.

A couples sites like this:

Each solution has it's own options, but hopefully this description helps you figure out where you should be looking for your specific project - and it obviously depends on the budget of your project.

I would go to http://www.stockmusicboutique.com - the music library is small but much higher quality than other sites and less confusing to use.
