Appreciate you posting this. I'm working on a small video project and was scrounging for some royalty free music on my computer. I found some appropriate pieces at incompetech.com. An odd choice for a domain name, but they have some decent music there.

vivianmo Mar 25, 2011 1:23 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)http://www.opuzz.com/ is not a new player and has a large resource with over 300 CDs. Definitely worth investing your time in searching for music in larger libraries as it offers you a better chance of finding something that fits your need.

I have been using this web-site for a long time and very satisfied. Music is very professional and hight quality. The web-site is very convenient for use, clear licensing policy and reasonable pricing.

Steve Grisetti Jun 16, 2011 5:15 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)You may want to watch out for people like Mark, Bill, who have only posted a few times -- and every post includes a link to the same web site.
Often these are not true recommendations. They're essentially spammers, out to pollute the boards.
I recommend you only trust recommendations from people who regularly contribute to or ask questions on the forum.

laura sinnott Aug 10, 2011 2:58 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Do not forget two Avid partners - Blastwave FX and Pro Sound Effects!
http://apps.avid.com/Partners/viewPartner.aspx?p=36&t=4&c=11&pg=1
http://www.prosoundeffects.com
We have over 100,000 sound effects in our arsenal and can create custom libraries. And sure, I may be bringing these particular libraries to your attention because I work with PSE and BWFX, but I'm also a feature film sound editor/mixer and use them every single day at my studio. (Not a spammer, as the previous post might suggest). They're an essential tool for any sound OR video editor.

LiaMegre Oct 8, 2012 8:52 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)Hi everyone,
Checked most links given above. Most of them look ancient.
Have been using those mentioned in post #9 (by Quinnster) for years, but recently discovered the greatest one:
This web-site became my favorite one, it's modern with good selection of music and authors. It helped me with my first project and I was fascinated when I was able to get appropriate music for my presentation background in several clicks!
The background music I used is now in promotional bundle and is given away for free. Hope it will help someone as it helped me a month ago. Check Corporate Reality from promo bundle: http://luckstock.com/pages/free-of-charge-royalty-free-music-and-sounds.html
p.s. Not sure whether I'm allowed to post here. If, not allowed, please remove my post but don't block my account (I'm not spammer and I'm willing to participate in adobe community forum).

Bill Hunt Jan 11, 2013 5:17 PM (in response to LiaMegre)LiaMegre,
As this is an on-going list, I greatly appreciate your contribution. I have seen references to that site elsewhere.
As I use some of the sources, in the original article (SmartSound mostly), I have not checked each link, to every site. Some might not be available any more, and if you find some that were, but are no longer, I will remove those.
Thank you,
Hunt
