Community of Online Research Assignments | an open access resource for faculty and librarians Advanced Distributed Learning Four Good Places to Find Audio Files for Multimedia Projects Whenever I talk to students or teachers about using music in multimedia projects I emphasize that just because a song is available to stream or download through the Internet, doesn't mean that you have the rights to re-use it. Therefore, you should strive to use public domain or Creative Commons licensed music. To that end, here are four good places to find free audio files to use in your multimedia projects. Dig CC Mixter offers thousands of songs that are Creative Commons licensed. The site is divided into three main categories. Bensound offers about 250 music tracks that you can download for free. SoundBible is a good place for students to find all kinds of free sound effects recordings. Anyone can download music from the Free Music Archive for use in podcasts, videos, and other digital presentation formats.
