Royalty Free Music downloads for slide shows?

[kmckinney]

Hi all: I've been making a few slide shows of the grandchildren to send to relatives and would like to know if anyone has a trusted site they use to purchase Royalty Free music? I only have a few canned pieces that must have came with the Media Player and they are getting a little redundant.

I've been to a few sites but wonder if someone has a particular favorite or one I could download single pieces instead of purchasing a whole CD?

And maybe I'm not even looking in the right places and not sure what I really need. I just want a varitey of music to drag into my shows.

Let me know.

For my slideshows I buy single songs from WalMart.com. They are 88 cents each. Here is the site:

http://musicdownloads.walmart.com/catalog/servlet/MainServlet

These songs can only be used for personal slideshows and cannot be used in any slideshows that are sold.

Here are 2 sites that I use:
Music Bakery (http://www.musicbakery.com/) has excellent tracks but I don't know if they allow free use for personal projects

Freeplay Music (http://www.freeplaymusic.com/) has good stuff and allows free use for personal projects.

my first post :D

anyway i get musics for my projects from opuzz.com
the price is great and so is the selection.They even got 'stingers' which are perfect for opening scenes,intros and ending scenes.


ps/stingers are basically short clips from a full track which are basically couple of seconds long

You're quite welcome Wendy. I just used a piece of his music for a slideshow I did with pix I took of Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight at our Performing Arts Center. Will be used for archive as well as sent to an organization that gave us a grant to bring in the show.

The one man show has existed since the 50's. Has anyone else seen it?

I have not used these folks but they are a startup company and charge $7./selection. You can demo on line.

How about Queen's "We Are The Champions"?

I have used stock20.com with wonderful results. You can listen to demos...you can buy just one tune...and it will come in several segments of time. It is really neat place.
PS ---sometimes you can buy a discount coupon for their songs off of ebay.
Well worth the money.
