As a content creator, using copyrighted music on your videos can lead to potential copyright strikes and claims, resulting in your content being taken down or even your channel being suspended. 

So, to help you avoid that, we’ve compiled a list of sources where you can get free music for your YouTube videos.

YouTube Audio Library: YouTube’s audio library is an excellent source for free music, with a wide range of genres and moods available.

Incompetech: Incompetech is a website where you can find royalty-free music created by composer Kevin MacLeod.

Free Music Archive – The Free Music Archive is a collection of free and legal music downloads curated by independent radio stations and artists.

SoundCloud: SoundCloud is a platform where musicians and artists share their original music. 

Many of them allow their music to be used for free on YouTube.

2-Using music that is not royalty-free, even if you have purchased it legally.

3-Using music that has been flagged by YouTube’s Content ID system as copyright can result in your video being blocked or monetized by the copyright owner.

That’s it for our top 10 copyright-free sources for uploaded music on YouTube and some things to avoid when uploading music. 

This helps you find the perfect music for your YouTube videos without copyright issues. 

Remember, copyright-free music protects you as a content creator and supports independent artists and musicians.
