How to Find the Right Music

Finding the right royalty free music for your project is very quick and easy, using the on-site search engines, click Royalty Free Music at the top of this page to go there. Here's how it works...

Quicksearch - Select your choices from the six menu categories on offer - Genre, Mood, Instrument, Length, Tempo and Source and click "Search!". The more categories you choose, the more focused your search results will be.

For example if you only select "Fast" tempo, the list of royalty free titles offered to you will be long, and will cover many styles of music.However if you selected "Fast" tempo and "rock" genre, the list will be shorter and more specific. If you select "Fast", "Rock", "Romantic" and "Bassoon" as your choices, the result list of royalty free titles meeting all these criteria will be understandably short (how many rock pieces with a romantic basson solo can you think of...?!). If you are given no search results, try broadening your search by selecting less options from the drop-down menu.

The search results will give you a list of Track titles matching your search criteria, with a brief description and links to the media player and your shopping cart. The results page for your search will look something like this...

You can see for every music title, there are different length versions. Next to each is the time (length) of each version in minutes and seconds, and the price. The price is shown in $US but you can choose the currency when you checkout.

Main Theme - this is the longest version of the music track
Commercial Cut - designed for TV and Radio adverts, usually 30 seconds long
Sting - short versions (example 4 or 5 seconds) designed as stings, idents or break bumpers intoTV ad breaks
Loops - these versions will loop seamlessly from the end to the beginning, for example to use as background on a website using Flash, or to loop together to make a long continuous music 'bed'.

Click the button to audition the music you want to hear, and the music will start to play in a new popup window that looks like this:
