I guess this is a request. As some of you know, I like to create animations and slide shows. Does anyone know of websites which offer royalty-free music that I could add as soundtracks to my videos? I would like to add music to them if I could. While I have added music to my postings on Kaol's Yahoo! group, I know I will not be able to distribute my videos or post them in public forums like YouTube if I use music which has been copyrighted (Not only is profiting from someone else's work illegal, it's stealing!). I know there are sites which offer royalty-free music, but I don't know where they are. Any help from the group would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Royalty-free music
I've been using Sounddogs for some time now. http://www.sounddogs.com/
The site is a little clumsy. But the biggest headache is not knowing how much an item costs until you go to check out. So what I do is select a bunch of stuff and then whittle away the stuff I can't justify once I see the costs.
But another site that I found recently has much better pricing. It's here http://www.royaltyfreemusiclibrary.com/
Their downloadable CD's are a great value, if they have the sound you are looking for.

Re: Royalty-free music
It depends on what you need, of course, but to make background music and some sound effects I bought a Yamaha keyboard and make my own. I have the musical talent of a toad but it actually seems to work.

Flying Hands Music which I had been using merged with Royalty Free Music a while ago so that is where I am getting my background music now. You do have to purchase what you buy though and agree to a license agreement. A hard copy CD is about $120 but I think you can download individual music as well.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I'll check it all out. I just hope it doesn't cost me too much money. If it does, you will hear me extolling the virtues of silent films

Re: Royalty-free music
not sure if it's what you're looking for but have you tried the audio portal of Newgrounds?
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/
The music there is free as long as you keep to certain conditions, and theres some good stuff if you look around.
