You’re free to use any of these tracks in your projects with one simple provision – provide credit, that’s it!

Here’s a few choice bits from the FAQ section of the site…

Is this music free to use? Yes. An optional donation of $5 per piece used is suggested – and highly appreciated. You do NOT need a PayPal account to make a donation! Just a credit card.

How do I place a credit for this music in my project?
If your project has only one piece in it; you can credit it as “Music: Kevin MacLeod”. If your project has many pieces from different people, you can credit me as “(name of the pieces of music you are using) Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)”. If you’d like to include the full license for legal reasons, you can do the following: “Title Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons “Attribution 3.0″ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/” It is important that you replace the word Title with the Actual Title of the piece that you are using!

Do I have to put the credit where people can see it? Yes. Credits change from media to media – but in general a credit needs to be placed such that a person who wants to know where the music came from should have no difficulty in finding it. A resonable effort may be expended (e.g. clicking on a credits option) but the credit should not be obscured.

Is this music in the Public Domain? No. Though some of the baroque and classical compositions are in the public domain; these recordings are not.

Can I use this music in a Student Film? Commercial Film? Stage Production? Flash Animation? Instructional DVD? Relaxation CD? Slideshow? Yes. Anything and everything – as long as I get a credit. The only thing you cannot do is sublicense or relicense. (That means you cannot sell or redistribute these as a royalty-free collection.)

Can I make an audio CD of music from this site – mass produce it and sell it? Yes. Just make sure I’m credited.
