Free, legal music for games?

Where do you usually get your music for your Scratch projects and games?
Do you create it, download it, or make it in Scratch?

Re: Free, legal music for games?

Some make music in an outside program and then import it into Scratch, others resort to using websites where the music is legal for download.

Keep in mind, it's also possible that you can use copyrighted music under the Fair Use clause.  smile

Re: Free, legal music for games?

I get almost all of my music from here; it's free to download, free to use, and royalty free as well ^^

+a broken 9 key.  I use that all the time, and it's excellent as far as free software goes.  It's an easy installation too.

Pxtone makes 8-bit sounding songs. It's pretty easy to use, as long as you understand keyboards.

Most classical music is in the public domain since the composers are so dead.

Listentoyoutube is a legal site, but yeah, I do try to give a link to the video I got it off.

Scratch is an educational site, which allows us to use music without permission. I don't think there's any risk of being sued, or banned, whatever. Its still good form to ask, but you can go ahead and use anything. Remember, we can use Fair Use, as cheddargirl said above.

I suggest NewGrounds. Once you get to Newgrounds, click the audio tab above. Thousands of different songs are there. And it is a free download!
