Royalty free music for games?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Royalty free music for games?

What I used to do is go around all the sites musicians post their work on, find a song I liked and asked the artist if I could use it in exchange for putting a splash screen on at game load. Most amateur musicians love the idea of their stuff being in a game, they're proud of it, they want to give you the music because they can tell their mates they are in a computer game !

Once you've found a good musician you can start building a relationship with them and get bespoke works out of them, and the suckers still do it for free :D.

When you're making a game and you want something for nothing, never lose sight of the fact that you're doing something that other people aspire to :)
