Thanks for the link. If you don’t mind, can you explain how this is different from what NCS (No Copyright Sounds) [0] is offering?

I was thinking about putting up some long, but silent, video on YouTube (probably an hour or two in length) - but didn’t know where I’d get some backing audio. Unfortunately these sound clips look quite short (2-4min). Can anyone suggest where I’d find longer tracks?

Can these be used in a commercial feature film? If so, what is required attribution wise?

Of course you can! Attribution is recommanded to support the artist.

maybe just my old android tablet, but i only see a list of tracks/ thumbnails vertically, with no search by genre, author, tag, length etc. Is it just me ? Nice idea though. thanks

The site claims that the music is available under CC-BY. In at least one case, this is not true. Caveat emptor.

Both tracks by Atch (https://soundcloud.com/atch-music/overyou and https://soundcloud.com/atch-music/freedom) state:

> "My music is free to use on social media AS LONG AS credit/attribution is given. To credit me correctly and avoid a copyright claim, you must copy and paste the below text into the description of your videos [...] If you wish to use my music for commercial purposes (online advertisements, podcasts etc), you will need to purchase a license. Please contact me at ..."

Edit: The SoundCloud metadata for all listed tracks does claim CC-BY 3.0. But in the case above it's clear that the artist does not actually intend for their tracks to be subject to the terms of that license. So what takes precedence: the copyright holder's statement, or the machine-readable metadata?
