Podcasting Resources

 

Music:

There are several podsafe and/or Creative Commons licensed works that can be used in podcast (especially non-commercial podcasts).

Sites:

  • Magnatune: I found the music for Screen Space on this site. Lots of good choices with a pro-artist bent.. As they say "Magnatune is not evil. We work directly with independent musicians world-wide to give you downloads of MP3s and perfect-quality WAV files. We never work with major labels, and our musicians always get 50%. You can listen to every album in its entirety before buying or becoming a member."
  • Music Alley: (Was Podsafe Music Network) Originally created by podcasters as a music archive for podcasters--podsafe music. Lots of options and some from big name.
  • Jamendo: A Creative Commons recommended music site for podcasters and other digital media artists, composers, and creators. As Jamendo says "On Jamendo artists allow anyone to download and share their music. It's free, legal and unlimited."
  • SpinXpress: This is a media site, including music, also Creative Commons recommended. As they say "SpinXpress is used by independent global media producers to create videos, music compilations, and other collaborative media projects." Also allows file sharing.
  • Wikimedia Commons: Also a media repository recommended by Creative Commons . As the site says, "Wikimedia Commons is a media file repository making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content (images, sound and video clips) to everyone, in their own language."
  • Music Podcasts: There are several music podcasts that use only Creative Commons music, so you can listen and find things you want and them use them.
  • Thesixtyone.com: A music social networking site with many Creative Commons songs.

 

Artists:

  • NIN: Has two CC albums: Ghosts I-IV (all instrumental, good for podcasts) and The Slip (more traditional NIN music)
  • Jonathan Coulton: All the songs he wrote are licensed Creative Commons by-nc, and all his music covers and other things he doesn't own are not copy protected.
  • Josh Woodward: Findlay, Ohio singer/songwriter has 150 songs online you can download and use.
  • Ask a local artist: many are happy to let you use their work in your podcasts!
