Introduction A good source of high quality music is something anyone who works with multimedia
can use -- for sound scores in PowerPoint presentations, as animation sounds,
or for use in Flash and video-editing. RoyaltyFreeMusic.com is a site that provides plenty of high quality music
that can be bought using either a subscription model, CDs or individual tracks. RoyaltyFreeMusic.com is from JupiterTunes, a company
based in Atlanta, Georgia that provides a large online library of royalty
free music. Figure 1 shows a screenshot of their site. Learn more about RoyaltyFreeMusic from their
site... My contact at RoyaltyFreeMusic for this review was Holly Patterson,
thank you Holly. Each of the over 10,000 royalty-free music tracks and 12,000 sound effects
in the RoyaltyFreeMusic collection can be previewed without a subscription,
and can be purchased as a single track, or as an album in MP3, WAV or
CD format. There are around 566 albums in the music library. The RoyaltyFreeMusic
packages, such as Music on Hold, Corporate Presentation, Children's Music,
etc. are collections of background music, loops, sound effects, etc. (see Figure
2) PowerPoint users can insert the sound effects,
bumpers, stingers and loops as transition or animation sounds in PowerPoint,
and the music tracks can be used as a background score for the presentation. Related Link: Sound
Across Slides You can play the sample music in the RoyaltyFreeMusic.com library without
the need to register. Once you are subscribed you can start downloading
the sounds. I downloaded few sounds, and the quality was amazing. The clips worked
flawlessly in my presentations -- a word of caution here: don't use a
background music score in every presentation -- some presentations are
more suitable than others. Here are some presentation scenarios that can
benefit from a music score: Subscription for a month costs US $299.95, and for a year it costs US
$699.95. When you purchase a yearly subscription, you can download 30
tracks and 300 sound effects per month (15 tracks and 300 sound effects
for a monthly subscription). Support is through email, online FAQ, and telephone. RoyaltyFreeMusic provides an awesome range of music tracks and sound
effects -- the quality is great too. If you don't need these tracks
all the time, it makes more sense to buy individual tracks or CDs -- on
the other hand a subscription provides a better cost:usage ratio if you
need these tracks frequently.
