Where do you actually source background music for video projects
I have been putting together a few short clips lately and the music side is the part I keep getting stuck on. I would rather not deal with claims later. Curious what people here rely on and how you check the licensing before using anything.

My approach has been fairly cautious since I once had a clip flagged over a track I assumed was fine. What helped was sticking to libraries that state the terms plainly instead of relying on vague wording in a video description. One option worth reading through is copyright free music from InAudio, which covers videos, presentations, games and apps, so it is easy enough to compare against whatever else you are considering. What I found practical there is that each track comes with loops and short edits at 15, 30 and 60 seconds, which cuts down on manual trimming when you are matching music to a fixed video length. Pricing is a monthly subscription around 7.99, a discounted yearly option, or a single track licence if you only need one piece for a project. I would still read the licence text yourself rather than take any summary at face value, including mine.
