CREATIVE COMMONS ROYALTY FREE MUSIC
Creative Commons music is becoming increasingly used by many musicians who want to get their music out to the public. These musicians are highly proficient and a lot of original music is being published in a large variety of styles to meet all tastes. The usual requirement is that the artist be properly acknowledged on any site that makes their music freely available.
Quote about Creative Commons music from DanoSongs " ...I choose the Creative Commons Licenses attribution license which requires that you put a link or credit for DanoSongs.com. That sure gets the word out. You can also use other open licenses like GPL, GFDL, EFF Open Audio License, the Free Art license or the LinuxTag's Open Music License. Its a lot like providing open source software, where you make money on services other than selling the code itself.
The other advantage to offering my tracks for free is instant easy collaboration, which is just plain fun. For instance I get emails all the time from people who use my instrumental tracks as background music for a new song. So now there is a whole piece of music in the world, that I played a part in, and yet took absolutely no effort on my part. This also goes for the many super cool video projects that people put my songs in. Some are for charity, documentaries, schools and projects for children and I am very happy to be involved..."
