Music

We are working on compiling a concise list, for now we will refer to the original Open Source Music article:

I will start by reminding readers that the first searches should be for trusted repositories.  Finding lists like those at "Web Distortion" can point one in the right direction.  Again, just be aware to look for the key indicators on the actual resource page to ensure the licensing of content.

Many of the Web Distortion links are searchable on the internet so the list I found is common to what I found on that site.

The "audio available at the internet archive" is stated to be creative commons.  Check the specific license to ensure that the license allows for modifying and sharing of the modified content before doing so.  Also, "opsound" indicates that the content on its site is creative commons.

And there are web sites like "Jamendo", "ccMixter", "sectionZ", "open source music", and even "soundcloud" that contain some / much music that is some form of creative commons.  Again, check the licensing before using it in other projects or remixing.  The song itself should be labelled with a relevant license.  Alternately, trust the artist who created the label and the source, which may have a more general statement of creative commons licensing.
