Free Music Friday: The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads.
They’ve got 5,000 free MP3s that you can download already, and more in the works.
And yes – you can go straight to the electronic music.
Every mp3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by outdated copyright law. Are you a podcaster looking for pod-safe audio? A radio or video producer searching for instrumental bed music that won’t put your audience to sleep? A remix artist looking for pre-cleared samples? Or are you simply looking for some new sounds to add to your next playlist? The Free Music Archive is a resource for all that and more, and unlike other websites, all of the audio has been hand-picked by established audio curators.

If you want to share your music at the Free Music Archive, email artists “at” freemusicarchive.org with a link to your work for consideration. Please indicate if there is a particular FMA curator who has showcased our work in the past.

The MXL USB.007 ships with a carry bag, a desktop mic stand, mic stand adaptor, a 10-foot USB cable, wind screen, owners manual and an applications guide.
The MXL USB.007 carries an MSRP of $ 199.00.
