17 Places to Find PodSafe Music

Considering LifeStory Designers will soon be opening our own LifeStory Radio Show, we thought it would be great to share with any Designer that would like to start Podcasting. This is one of our first resources.

From Blog Talk Radio:

One question we’re asked a lot here at BlogTalkRadio is where to find royalty-free or podsafe music to download (and upload) for BlogTalkRadio shows. Many of our hosts enjoy playing music for their listeners, but don’t want to violate any laws. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to find royalty free and podsafe music.

What follows are some places to find PodSafe music for your BlogTalkRadio shows. Before downloading any music, please be sure to read the website’s terms of use thoroughly, and to obtain any and all necessary permissions. Also, many of these places charge per download.

Behold:

1. MySpace: Nikki Starr recommends using MySpace to find Indy bands who would be happy for the airplay. Many of them haven’t signed over the rights to their music but would love to be heard. All you need is for them to send you an MP3 and a letter granting you permission to play their tunes.
