Here's a collection of free-to-use short music for any kind of project imaginable. I've been working on this project for over 10 years on and off, and it's a labour of love.

Whether you're doing work for TV, Radio, Film, your next podcast, show reel, powerpoint presentation, youtube video or university assignment that requires something to intro or outro it, there should be something for you, and if not you directly, maybe someone you know.

This is not the final form. I add to it whenever I find inspiration to do so. Check back every so often as you may find more content was added when you weren't looking 🔇

Currently:
1210 items
766 MB download in mp3
over 9 hours of music.

Absolutely no AI was used (or harmed) in the making of this collection.

If you feel so inclined, please do boost for reach. Many thanks.

jajaja, lo mío con estas músicas breves o de fondo debe tener que ver con el #autismo pero lo cierto es que no puedo con ellas. Tampoco es que sea fan de los podcast o los videos pero cuando meten más de 3 segundos de música introductoria se me empiezan a crispar todos los nervios y los abandono para siempre. Igual con las sintonías de programas de radio, si no puedo saltármelas dejo de oirlos. Mañaneros de la 1, yo lo vería pero tiene una música totalmente crispante de fondo, bajita pero audible, y ya no puedo ni oir lo que dicen, mi cerebro solo puede escuchar la musiquita. Que no es por la música en sí sino por meterla con calzador donde no viene a cuento. Ni aporta ni la puedes escuchar, todo mal.

I’ve noticed a trend of more and more podcasters and YouTubers that I follow, slowly dropping the music they once used as intros and outros for their content; and that makes me sad.
I get it. Feeding “the algorithm” is a constant battle and you have only so much time.

But the world seems diminished just a little bit more, every time a bit of music and creativity gets dropped.

I was in radio in a past life, and would definitely have used this music had I had it then.

Yep. It’s definitely a way that my brain associates an artist/presenter with their work.
When the music plays, my brain gets itself ready for their content.
When I suddenly hear their voices, without “their music”; it’s jarring.

A good friend of mine used to do a podcast ( @KingShawn and “Your Mac Life”).
Even today, when I see an email or social media post from Shawn, I *still* hear his theme music in my head.
Brains are so weird, and how they catalogue things.

@griseldagimpel Right, there's a reason for that.
Some podcasts make 0 money, so you don't have to pay for music. If you're doing something where you'll get payment, I'd like a little cut of that.
For your payment, you get access to the collection in either.wav or .flac which is of course superior to mp3 anyway, so it's not that you're just paying for the same files you already have access to. I don't believe in that.

I'm curious why you appear to have rolled your own license.
If so, doing this can create problems as you may not end up with the protections you wished to have.
As they have been honed over many years, the Creative Commons licenses are often a good choice and provide real protection.
Your license looks to be most similar to CC BY-NC-SA which allows free use, modification and sharing but not commercial use.
