  6. Hi, I'm Abby Boldt and I noticed your royalty free creative commons resources : )

    I help out Dan-O from DanoSongs.com - maybe you know about him?

    For years he has been posting his work for free for community and commercial use in videos, games and podcasts.

    Can you take a look and consider listing http://www.danosongs.com on your site?

    Thanks so much!

    Abby

  8. Musicalise.me represents a new concept in the world of royalty free music marketplaces. Rather than a set price for licenses, visitors to this royalty free music library can actually choose how much they wish to pay to license each individual track. Granted, there is a minimum fee of $1 for every track, but considering that this covers a license for unlimited usages this is truly royalty free music for free.

  9. For royalty free music that is also pretty much free to license , head to musicalise.me, A new royalty free music library where you can license tracks for as little as $1. The collection covers a wide range of genres, and although is small, this is a blessing in comparison to other sites where you need to browse for hours until you find what you are looking for. They also offer a very affordable bespoke music solution, and can edit tracks in any way you want. A place worth a visit Royalty free music library
