Creative Commons Music Resources 30 April, 2010

If you’ve been looking for a (free) royalty-free way to score your projects without having to rip your favorite new album, plead “fair use” and have YouTube remove your video’s audio anyway, here are a couple sites that I think you’ll find hard to believe: Incompetech and Jamendo.

While Incompetech is dedicated solely to the works of Kevin MacLeod and all works there are under a liberating Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, Jamendo features works from all over the world, under a variety of Creative Commons licenses (that track you’re dying to use and abuse in your new blockbuster flash cartoon may be non-derivative or non-commercial, for example, so make sure you look before you leap).

There are some links on MacLeod’s site to similar resources; be sure to check them out!
