ProfKranc: Need Royalty Free Music? List of Sites Here!

Before I give you the list I have complied of bountiful recourses for Royalty Free music that are both free and some not (Labelled so you know which is which), I should probably promote where I originally posted all of this information.

Out there in the cold dark of the internet, there is a place where Youtubers reside. Its a forum called:

Yttalk is a truly awesome place for youtubers to connect, promote and help each other. Its because of this place that I have seen more growth these past two months than I have before. Sure I'm still only on 85 subs, but it has grown much faster than before.

Anyway. Because there wasn't a resource compiling the places where you could get royalty free music that you can then monetise in your videos, I decided to write one up.

I just wanted to say if you are interested in connecting with other Youtubers and maybe even getting help and advise on your channel, that's the place to go.

BUT! In any case, below is a list of websites I have compiled in which you can get Royalty Free music from in which you can use in your videos for monetisation and even short films, features, radio, etc.

I ask that you read the terms and conditions on the websites to confirm that you can use the music track of your choice in your production.

I hope this helps!

LIST BEGINS!!

If you have the money though, you can always licence music. The cheaper licences usually appear on sites likeBandcamp and Free Music Archive, or you can get written approval from an artist you like.
