Sometimes rights are released with very little other than an attribution if the thing you want to do with the music is a) not going to be particularly profitable, b) will show the music in a good light, c) does not conflict with other public uses of the music, and d) you manage to contact the right person who wants to be helpful. > I have been thinking of making musik myself (MIDI files, which > would have > to be converted into MP3 files or similar. Do you know how to do this? I'm no musician. If I have to make music from MIDI and turn it into MP3, I'll call my brother! Otherwise, I'd use GarageBand, which comes with Apple systems as part of the iLife package. > Which software are you using - it's seems like Macromedia? The software I used to create this presentation is SoundSlides, http://www.soundslides.com/. It's a Mac OS X application that takes a folder of JPEG files and an MP3 or AIFF file and integrates them together. It has tools for controlling the pacing of the presentation and some basic capabilities to change the playing look. It generates a Flash compatible presentation. I've done this using iMovie and iTunes, built DVDs using iDVD (all part of iLife) but it's more time consuming to build what I want than SoundSlides.
