Here are copyright friendly websites you should go to find audio for your school projects.


 * Be warned!!**

Any of the popular music you hear playing on the radio stations are copyrighted and should not be used in school projects, especially outside the classroom. I know there are sites out there where you can find our favorite music and download it for free, but this is ILLEGAL!! If you buy the track from a legal dealer, like iTunes or Walmart.com, you are still not licenced to use that music in school projects that get posted to the internet. Sorry!

My best advice would be to make your own music using Garageband on a Mac. The next best option would be to create your own music using a PC software program, but I have not found a inexpensive PC version as nice as GarageBand.

If you really need to find music on the web that is safe to use in your digital projects, here are the best tools I have seen. Feel free to email me tools you know about and I will review them and add them to the page. Thanks!
