How to find free music
I am working on a game and have some nice music playing in the background. As of now all that music has been downloaded for free via http://freeplaymusic.com/about/ Someone recently told me that if I plan on making my game public and downloadable, then I cannot use this music because it is for personal use only. As a single developer of my game does this apply to me too? Is there anyway I can use this music? If not, are there any places that have totally free music that can be published?

There's a ton of public-domain and creative commons music at archive.org.

At http://rocksuresoundz.com there are a few public domain and totally free downloadable music songs and loops, as well as a wide range of royalty-free music that requires the payment of a small license fee in order to download and use the music in games etc. It is a one-off license fee which means you can use the music again and again if desired without accumulating more costs. The main thing when looking for music to use commercially, even on a small scale, is that you are licensed to use it. That covers you from any potential problems down the track. If someone hears or discovers you are using music illegally it could cause serious headaches down the track. There is plenty of free or cheap license music out there.
