Glad you mentioned this, Taran; I also wanted to share the URL for the creative commons search tool:
http://search.creativecommons.org/index.jsp This tool allows you to search the Internet for content issued under creative commons licenses, including audio. I've used it to find music for use in my podcasts, for example. I'd also recommend downloading the songs from the Wired/Creative Commons CD: http://creativecommons.org/wired/ A dozen or so performers, including the Beastie Boys, Chuck D, David Byrne and others, agreed to release songs on the CD under a creative commons sampling license, so Internet users could remix, sample and perform the songs. I used the CD for all the tracks on my recent podcast about an interview I did with CNN, and the music made a big difference in how the podcast turned out: http://www.andycarvin.com/podcasts/cnn-interview.mp3 thanks, ac ------------------------------------------------- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media & Community acarvin @ edc . org ------------------------------------------------- But there is another option: CreativeCommons makes all sorts of material available under Creative Commons copyrights licenses which allows the uses you appear to need, without having to keep a big stack of letters.
