The problem with creating a video where you want to use music, is that pretty much your only choice is to use old blues or classical recordings that are in the PD (public domain) or with links to current bands that want the advertising. See the S/D link above for the PD stuff that i've found so far. Also, another prob is that even if you DO get the composer's permission, you still have to get the PUBLISHER'S permissiion -- this happened to a friend of mine with whom the composer was on good terms with, but the publisher??? Unh, Unh! (sound of lawyers shuffling papers, and then the web site gets shut down -- happened to me, when i used a still photo that someone sent me via email and turns out it was COPYWRITED by a graphics catalog publisher (not even the original artist!!). Welcome to the 21st century, Mr. West. -[
