    I need some mild background music for some internet marketing (powerpoint) videos. Not elevator music, but the kind that is just friendly and non obtrusive.- as a voice is in the background (reading a 3 minute script)

    Are there any websites which provide free music clips for video purposes?

    any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Thanks but they are just sounds. I need background theme music for the videos which are about 2-3 minutes long. - not just sounds, but mellow chilling instrumental songs for videos.

    Anybody else got any other sites which provide free background instrumental music which i can add to some basic (powerpoint) videos

    you'd do well t check out the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts album here: http://ghosts.nin.com/

    Forget what you think you know about Nine Inch Nails, this music is all instrumental and pretty chilled out. 36 Tracks. And the best part is two things.

    These 36 songs aren't copyright, so you're free to use them. They come under a creative commons license, which makes these flexible.

    The second awesome thing is that NIN also released the multi-tracks for every single one of those songs, so if you've got a mac with Garageband, any computer with Audacity or any sort of multi-track audio editor - you have the tools to remix or lengthen/shorten the tracks, take out annoying instruments at your leisure.

    I can't see you doing much better than this really, total freedom and the original studio files means you'd have to pay a band thousands for the equivalent product if NIN hadn't given it away for free.

    Hope this helps!
