93 Free Music Clips for Podcasting

Found this page today offering 93 free music clips available for use in podcasts (and I imagine other non-broadcast type uses) on the Indiana University website.

The quality of the clips is questionable, very Garageband sounding, but there are quite few gems in there if you look hard enough

Some of the tracks I like are the Indian flavored ones like this;
Lone Rider

Some of the funky guitar tracks are interesting as well;

Free Music Clips from Vlad Rebek

I found another pretty cool site with free royalty free music clips today.
It is run by musical composer/enthusiast and experimentalist Vlad Rebek and he is offering a collection of his tracks for “joy or for profit, or both”.

You can take a look at his complete terms here

And you can preview and download his music starting here by click on the categories in the left hand menu.

And don’t forget to check out the free royalty free music clips at Partners In Rhyme if you haven’t done so already.

Free iMovie Plugins and Downloads

imovie-08I just updated our Free iMovie plugins page on partnersinrhyme.com here:
Free iMovie Plugins and Mac Software Downloads
I hadn’t realized how popular the page was until people started contacting me with lots of questions. On the new page I explain the problem with using effects plugins in newer version of iMovie (’08 and ’08) and a solution for Mac users who still want to use effects plugins and newer version of iMovie.

GoDigital Media Monetizing Music Without Composer’s Permission

I just want to notify our customers and composers that the GoDigital problem that we took care of with Audiosparx.com (monetizing Youtube videos that contain music legally licensed from Partners In Rhyme) is happening once again with another royalty free music library, this time it is Audiomicro.com.

The problem appears to be effecting us to a much lesser extent than the Audiosparx.com problem but still we currently have about 7 loyal clients that Audiomicro’s actions have impacted very negatively. We are sending the customer complaints to our lawyers so that he can put together a case of “Tortious Interference with Business Relations”.

Partners In Rhyme is very tired of dealing with the customer problems caused by GoDigital Media and the chasing down of Youtube videos to remove false GoDigital claims so we are now blocking all composers who have their music in the Audiomicro.com catalog from any further sales or access to their PIR or musicloops accounts.

We are also no longer accepting any composer submissions from composers who have or have had music entered into the Audiomicro.com database.

It is regretful that GoDigital is promoting the Youtube contentID system as a royalty payment system to royalty free music libraries when it is only a system to monetize *illegal* uses of music, not legal ones.

I deeply apologize to the percentage of our loyal Youtube customers who have come to rely on our music catalog to use in their business promotions and projects but the actions of other companies are completely out of our control.
Also, please rest assured that you do have the legal right to use the music you purchased from Partners In Rhyme and we will do everything we can for our customers that have Youtube videos being illegally monetized by GoDigital to get their false claims removed as quickly as possible.

Regards,
Mark Lewis
