As mentioned in our new tutorial Internet for Audio Resources and our document Finding Video, Audio and Images Online, SoundCloud is a great resource for music that can be used in your institutional productions, and now finding music which you can use for free has become a lot easier.
One of the main problems when sourcing online music is ascertaining the copyright restrictions imposed and ultimately finding audio files that you can use legally.
You can now search SoundCloud exclusively for Creative Commons (CC) licensed files, and for music sharers the licence is now viewable in the embeddable player. There is a new CC landing and discovery page, prominent placement of the licence information on pages and players, and you can now advance search by licence type, making finding and using CC music a whole lot simpler.
