    Go to the Smartsound web site and download the free Express Tracks software.  It includes 5 free music tracks.  If you do not like those you can download one of your choice (you can preview their selections) for $30.

    I am also a really, really big fan of SmartSound. This ARTICLE will give some background, and methods of using their music. Until recently, I had almost their entire library of music, accumulated over the years, and always when they were on sale. Looking now, I see that there are many additions, so I need to sit down with my spreadsheet, and my credit card, and take advantage of any sale going on.

    There is almost no genre of music, that is not well covered. Also, there are variations for most cuts, and with the Multi-track music, and Sonicfire Pro 5 Scoring edition (not the free version), one then has an infinite number of variations on each of the 5 - 7 included variations - we're talking close to infinity here.

    With much of their music, one can buy and download individual tracks, though I do not believe that they offer that option with the Multi-track cuts.

    Spend an afternoon just listening, and you WILL find something that will work in their collection.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    Simon,

    There are also many programs that allow one to "create" their music, mostly via loopology. Programs, like Adobe Audition, Magix Music Maker, Magix Music Studio and other, install with all sorts of elements, that can be easily combined. There are also some older music "creation" programs, like the discontinued MS Music Producer (probably still available on the Internet - be sure to get and install the patch, prior to first launch), and Jam, that use MIDI to create music.

    Lots of choices in that vein.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    Mr. Hunt.

    Yes Sir, I think inside Adobe Soundbooth, there are many Royalty free songs. I do have the CS5 Master collection which includes The Soundbooth, But I never worked with it. But I have to play with it. I checked the video Tutorials for the Soundbooth, it seems like a simple program. Therefore I have to learn it

    Thanks

    Do not know about SB, but there are ~ 5,000 "loop" files in Audition. One can use loopology to create all sorts of music, and can set most of the parameters as needed.

    Good luck,

    The musician, Moby, generously offers some of his music at no charge and royalty free to independents and students.

    http://www.mobygratis.com/film-music.html

    You can listen to any of the free tracks and then submit a request detailing your project. I got my request approved within 24 hours. His eclectic music is not going to be a good match for every project, but you have to admire his support for budding film-makers.

    If you have Adobe Soundbooth there is a service attached called "Scores" - window/scores - you can download a lot of royalty free music there.

    Mr. Hunt.

    Thank you very much. I did checked the Links that you sent me.  but it look like you have to purchase from these Sites. They are not free.

    Royalty free doesn't necessarily mean free of charge.  It just means you can do whatever you want with it once you do pay for it.
