A List of Open Source Music sites

A List of Open Source Music sites

TinyWorlds's picture

Here is a small list of good sites to publish and find open source music.

I found them searching for some pages to publish my open-source music on, besides OpenGameArt. (I would love to see it used in films as well)

 

Opsound.org

A community project with quality music licensed as CC-BY-SA and some CC0 pieces.

You can create an account and submit your own music if you want, too.

 

Joshwoodward.com

Actually the page of a single musician, but I had to include his page.

He has an extensive, quality archive of music and pretty nice tools to find the music you are looking for (all CC-BY). Tip: be sure to change "Vocal Songs" to "Instrumental Songs", so you get the version more usable for games (well except you want the lyrics ^^).

 

Ccmixter.org

This is an interesting project focusing at creating an open-source community that use each others samples and vocals to create songs.

The music pieces are licensed as CC-BY, CC-BY-NC and CC0.

 

I also uploaded my music to archive.org. However, if you're looking for music for your projects to use, it's not that good of a platform - it's more of a digital library.

I hope you found my little compilation helpful. Are there any sites you would add to the list?
