Question
I'm looking for sources of Creative-Commons–licensed music that could be used in podcasts. Where do you recommend?
My gut feeling is that this used to be easier than it is today; I did some hunting for a different project ~5–6 years ago and it seems like the same sites aren't really around (not to mention that the CC site has a lot of outdated information cluttering it up). But those are side issues; really I'm just interested in personal experience!
@n8@identi.ca i have used Jamendo, via the creative Commons media search engine.
you almost certainly have checked jamendo and http://freemusicarchive.org/ and http://www.jamendo.com already...
Musopen has a ton of classical music. Many of their recordings are public domain (CC0 if memory serves), others are under various CC licenses. All the underlying compositions are public domain.
ccMixter is another great resource.
If metal's your thing, check out Open Metalcast. I particularly like their instrumental episodes, called instrumetalcasts.
There's a good amount of CC-licensed music on Bandcamp, but it can be hard to find - there's no way (AFAICT) to filter out non-CC music.
