Are you looking for royalty free music for YouTube or other video projects on social media? The right track can transform your video and wow your audience, but the last thing you want is an unexpected copyright claim.

Sourcing totally free royalty free music to use in YouTube videos can be a minefield, and full of frustration. Simply typing "royalty free music" into Google returns hundreds of sites, many who require a one-off payment before the tracks they offer are actually royalty-free.

What's more, if you want to use music for commercial purposes (i.e. make money from its inclusion in a video in any way, including the monetisation of a YouTube video), the search can become even trickier. 

In this blog post, I have put together a list of the best online resources for royalty-free music tracks, in particular this list only includes sites that do not charge for commercial use of the songs available.
