What It's About
Today's caller is in search of royalty-free music to use for a podcast. Any ideas?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1477
You can’t just use anyone’s music because it belongs to them. A major video game recently got in trouble because it included songs they weren’t supposed to use, and then had to publicly tell everyone who purchased it to disable the music in the game’s settings until a patch was available. This applies to you as well, if you have a podcast or YouTube channel or any other medium that might use music—or if you’d like to start one. Where can you find royalty-free music you can use without worry?"I’m starting a podcast this year! And maybe a YouTube channel as well. I'll keep you posted, but here's one problem I'm having for now. Where can I find music I can use as an intro track and maybe some background throughout, without getting into trouble and preferably without paying? I know that YouTube especially is very strict about taking down videos that are improperly using other people's music. I would hate to have a popular video with lots of views but then lose everything because I made a mistake with a few seconds of music."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
