What is the best source for quality 'podsafe' or royalty-free music?
Here are a few examples of Lynne's stuff (and what I'm looking for):

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 Musicloops.com for over 4000 tracks of royalty free music. All immediately downloadable and no PRO fees required.
This site is good because the tracks all have to be approved before showing up in the main site. Much like shockwave-sound.
You can also easily purchase a full length track or a 60 or 30 second edit or even short music loops for most of the tracks available. Download just what you need for your projects.

Partners In Rhyme is a great site to purchase collections of royalty free music. If you need lots of royalty free music this is the place to get it at affordable prices with the most generous licensing in the business. No PRO fees.

You can search by artist name and genre of music. It is the gold standard for podsafe music.
Free registration is required.
Have fun with your podiobooks!

There is a very cool way to generate very vibey tunes in Garage Band that most everyone seems to overlook.
And of course you can really tweak and customize them (tempo, pitch, length, etc) to fit the mood of your podcasts.

For sound effects, the free sound project is good:

I'm not sure how "podsafe" it is (but probably no longer copyrighted) but there is a great site with historical mp3s called the Free Information Society

Hmm! Those last two are not exactly what I was looking for (specifically: non-cheesy soundtrack music), but very interesting nonetheless.
try our library over over 18,000 crowd sourced stock music track at AudioMicro http://www.audiomicro.com - all tracks as little as $1 per minute

Another great option is checking your local music scene. If you find someone local that has a sound you like they may be interested in recording music for you so long as they get a plug on your podcast!
