Music links for everyone

A few places for music:

The most obvious place is the stock music from the UT servers.  We've paid for that already, and it is free to use.  There is the regular stock music, but also loops and beats such that you can create some simple and complex compositions a la garage band for yourself, and time it perfectly to what you're doing.  Sounds daunting, but it's really pretty easy to do.  Thousands of possibilities here.

Search for creative commons music, and inspect the licenses carefully.  There's a lot of free music out there, but you have to be sure that it's royalty free, and that you can use it in broadcast.  Try http://www.jamendo.com/en/     http://www.ccmixter.org/ and http://www.thesixtyone.com

hey, it's Moby!  Yes, your favorite elevator music poseur / pop ambient composer (depending on your pov)  offers free music to filmmakers on his website http://www.mobygratis.com/film-music.html .  It's really not so terrible (or maybe I'm just that seriously uncool) and it's useful stuff for docs that need easily loopable stuff.

Search for royalty-free music, and pay to download a track.  You will pay a one-time charge for download but this comes with the ability to use as you wish ("pay once, use it forever," as one site says).  You are essentially paying for a license.  Some sites that offer this:  http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/  , http://musicbakery.com/  (this has moods you can choose-- very helpful) , http://www.neosounds.com/  . 

And there are tons of other sites as well.  Here's a list from Evan, some repeats:
