Royalty free music is a pain. I wanted to licence a music track for use for YouTube and a podcast, but it's just unclear if that requires different licences, and if it's a series, it may only cover a certain number of episodes and expire after some time before you have to buy again.

I did discover icons8's free music selection which is actually very good: https://icons8.com/music/

This is the link which is missing in the post ;-) Pretty cool stuff, especially with the sliders on the right side.

Moby did something similar a few years ago - http://www.mobygratis.com/ - although it doesn't seem to be working at the moment, and there's a lot of spam in the videos section.

Thank you for linking this. I'm playing with it and I'm very impressed. The article completely missed the value of it being dynamic music where you can keyframe the momentum, depth and power with plugins for video editors.

If only you could automatically transform these songs to be of a desired length (naturally, without clipping/fading).

Is YouTube themselves working with to clear this music? Is it marked in YouTube's ContentID system somehow? Some artists have had copyright strikes placed against THEM for one of their original songs because someone else used their song (with permission) and then had YT's ContentID mark the other publisher as the owner.

It has got to be a slap in the face to generously offer your art for this use, only to be punished for doing so. Especially with the only way to deal with it is with a tone-deaf automated system.
