Where can I find copyright free, or Creative Commons licensed music?
Question by Cookie Monster: Where can I find copyright free, or Creative Commons licensed music?
I need to find educational music (a song, specifically) for use in a project.
I have tried using the creative commons search engine, but I am unable to find music that does not eventually turn out to be copyrighted – I need to create a derivative work.
Perhaps this is because I don’t know what to look for. Could you please recommend tips for finding copyright free music, or in checking if music has copyright attached to it (which apparently it does automatically unless stated otherwise)?
Thanks.

^This website is dedicated to artists under the CC license. Most music out there has copyright attached to it, so you’ll have to look specifically for websites devoted to artists that allow you to use their work. I usually go for Jamendo myself.
