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

jajaja, lo mรญo con estas mรบsicas 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 mรกs de 3 segundos de mรบsica introductoria se me empiezan a crispar todos los nervios y los abandono para siempre. Igual con las sintonรญas de programas de radio, si no puedo saltรกrmelas dejo de oirlos. Maรฑaneros de la 1, yo lo verรญa pero tiene una mรบsica 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 mรบsica en sรญ sino por meterla con calzador donde no viene a cuento. Ni aporta ni la puedes escuchar, todo mal.

Iโ€™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 โ€œthe algorithmโ€ 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. Itโ€™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 โ€œtheir musicโ€; itโ€™s jarring.

A good friend of mine used to do a podcast ( @KingShawn and โ€œYour Mac Lifeโ€).
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.

@griseldagimpel If you need any free sounds, I have a collection of various things again free to use on my youtube channel. Here's a link to the playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLajโ€ฆ
