Where to find music for your videos? There are hundreds of websites with millions of songs to choose from and each offers different genres, functionalities, and licenses.
Copyright free music or no-copyright music means it’s free of royalty fees and you can use it on your videos, also if you monetize them. Some authors require you to credit their music in the video description, but no royalties are asked to you.
In my opinion, the best options to find nice free music for your video content are:
- Free Music Archive – This is one of the most important websites for discovering curated music and sounds for all types of content. Every MP3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by copyright laws that were not designed for the digital era. – https://freemusicarchive.org/
- ccMixter – This is a community music remixing site featuring remixes and samples licensed under Creative Commons licenses.

Oman by Max McFerren is the song used in the video and is taken from the YouTube Audio Library. It is free to use, but I always like to give credit to the artist.
