Internet Tip - Royalty Free Music at No Charge

Where can you find royalty free music at no charge? Many sites on the web offer royalty free music with a price tag. But here I have compiled a list of sites with royalty free music that is actually free. There are actually quite a few artists that offer their music under the Creative Commons License, it is sometimes just hard to find them through all the sites that ask a lot of money to use one song. Recommendations Some artists allow you to use their music in commercial productions whereas others only allow you to use their music in personal productions. My recommendation is that whether you use an artist's song in a non-commercial way (for a personal web page, a personal slideshow, etc) or in a commercial way (for a TV commercial, film festival, movie, etc.) that you contact the artist and let them know how you are using their music.

Listener Fred sent me a video of Noe Soulier perform several dance pieces - among them are every ballet step in alphabetical order and (!!!) If you like all this nonsense, please support my radio show. Find the complete tracklist of these songs below the fold! keep in mind that my patch occassionally messes up, so some of the tracks listed may be missing from the cutups...
