Re: royalty free songs or jingles

Freeplaymusic.com is a great site. You do need to look at the terms as ther=
e are some restrictions and requirements on the ways it can be used. Howeve=
r, much of it is very usable and you will likely be able to use most of the=
music for your projects.

You might also consider fruity loops. The software has a cost but you can c=
reate original tunes with ease. You can also purchase loops that you can us=
e for remixes. There is also Acid Music (now by Sony) This is a loop softwa=
re that allows you to create your own music (much like fruity loops). Band =
in a Box is another option. It has been around for some time. All of these =
programs have plug-ins or loops that you can purchase to extend their capab=
ilities. You don't need a lab full of these things. One or two copies on ca=
mpus will do for production work. If you are Mac school, then there is Gara=
ge Band. I have not used it but I know some who swear by GB. If I had a Mac=
, I am sure I would pass considerable time with Garage Band. Best for me no=
t to have any more toys. :)
