Free Music For Your Videos

There are a lot of resources out there on the internet. I just need to have my own overview where I can supply with my own notes. I really like the creative commons idea, where you attribute the author.

http://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos

Check out archive.org too.

I used this resource to find music for my recent video: http://incompetech.com/music/ (they use creative commons licenses and you can buy the uncompressed music if you need to). Even more specific link: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html

Here are some links I received from my brother:

Here is some I found nice to listen too. It can take long time to find good music that is free under a creative commons license or similar.

Extra usefull tags and groups: https://soundcloud.com/tags/free-music | https://soundcloud.com/tags/free%20download | https://soundcloud.com/groups/legal-free-music-downloads

Always check the license on the music as they might change over time.
