While there are many websites you can go to for royalty free images, is there anything for those of us who might want to have some background music … say, if you’re creating a video presentation as opposed to a PowerPoint one?

Why, yes there is, and here are a few;

• FreePlayMusic (as mentioned on BBC Click programme) – www.freeplaymusic.com
• Dance Industries – www.dance-industries.com

These websites offer downloadable, royalty free audio files (often MP3). Please check out each website and their respective T&Cs before using anything you download; you may breach their T&Cs without realising it – licenses for commercial or educational use may be different for each website.

What if you just want to play something in the background in the classroom? There are a few big players you can go to, the biggest are;

• LastFM
• Spotify

and one I found this afternoon;

• Grooveshark
