Whether you are a video journalist, a multimedia expert, a video blogger, or simply just a regular user trying to make your own video, you surely would need some good, ambient music for your next video project. If you are thinking of using one of your mp3 music files, you are running the risk of getting yourself into copyright infringement problems - yes, even if you only use less than 30 seconds of it!
For background music on your next video or multimedia endeavor, stay safe and stick with royalty free music and sound effects. The problem is, great music that is truly royalty-free are oftentimes difficult to find. They are usually available for hefty one-time fees, which might be out of your league if you are among the financially-challenged. If you come across a cheap one, chances are, the sound clip has already been used many times before by countless others, compromising originality.
Luckily, there are lots of sites on the internet that offer libraries of royalty free music covering practically every musical genre at cost-effective prices. These websites hosts sample packs and sample clips you can take advantage of - to make sure you are getting what you exactly need. Generally sound libraries available with a copyright license on these websites feature downloadable sounds and music of varying lengths that cater to a wide range of uses - from background music to sound effects, multimedia sound clips to music on hold, from modern beats to drum loops, and so on.
Music files showcased in reputable sound libraries have been created through the experience and expertise of qualified musicians, with no compromises in quality. You should take advantage of free sample packs and sample music provided by these sites, to ensure that you are getting real value out of your money.
The best thing about the sound libraries available today on the internet is that downloadable music is guaranteed royalty free - and not just for one use, but multiple uses! Check out now on your favorite search engine and find the best royalty free music website that usually you will see on the first 5-10 pages, then browse through their wide range of music files.

Daniel this is great advice, especially with more and more people now uploading to video sharing sites such as YouTube. Using royalty free music is one good way of escaping the copyright infringement issue. Demos of Sample Packs are equally as good an idea too!
