Free music
Sometimes words and pictures just don't cut it on their own.
Music's hard to beat when it comes to setting the atmosphere at an event, accompanying a video, or even for a Powerpoint presentation.
There are plenty of websites which offer royalty free music, but always be careful to check the small print to confirm that you can use the music for your particular use - often you will need to at least credit the artist. Remember- keep it legal!
The Performing Rights Society has lots of useful advice on using other people's music legally.
