Where do you get music for your YouTube Videos?

I either compose and record my own or use a site called Incompetech.com run by Kevin MacLeod that allows you to use some of the music he writes royalty free, even on commercial videos, as long as you follow his directions for credit in your video.

I don't know how I missed this before. I get my music, when I use it, from the same place as Darryl. There's also another place called Partners in Rhyme http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/ that offer free music. But for some reason my new laptop doesn't want to accept their files. But they have some groovy free tunes too.

I get mine from the royalty free music on iMovie. But it gets old fast. I'm running out of new tunes. For my most recent video I paid a couple of guitarists in Nicaragua a few bucks to let me video them. I think that's okay. I HOPE that's okay.

Did you get something in writing from them that they allow you to use it in your video for free, or outlining terms of payment? Or at least get them on video/sound saying the same thing? If not, you don't have their permission.
