Need some free background music for your video?


It was a struggle trying to write background music for my videos that sounded good enough- didn't fit the mood, I wasn't having a good day in the studio, etc. So out of desperation I googled "royalty free music" and the first link was as sent from heaven- freeplaymusic.com.

They have a lot of music to choose from, and not all of it is good, unless you are editing a sports training montage in the early 90's or a poignant moment from Saved by the Bell. The interface is a little Web 1.0 and wonky, but it works.

That brings me to my next point- they are experimenting with a new site layout: live.freeplaymusic.com. It's not perfect, but it looks a lot better and has a descent search feature. It's kind of difficult to figure out the navigation, but once you do, it's pretty smooth sailing.

So, how do these dudes make money? Well...there is a good amount of material on the site that costs $0.99 per track, similar to iTunes, except it falls under a royalty free licence, so use it in your videos and whatnot!

Happy creating!
