Comments: 

Music search and licensing is often complicated for those who are not familiar with the process. Although a music background is usually a distraction for a website, it can greatly enhance a video production that is edited and posted to your site.  If you have undertaken video as part of your blog promotion…and you should at some time…you will want to access music tracks that avoid licensing fees. Most all popular music is copyrighted and will require a license to use on your blog. A stock music company will commonly charge “needledrop”, “blanket” or “buyout” fees for access to their libraries. So check your free options first: search “royalty free music” on Google. Musopen is a fine, free alternative for classical tracks.
