Free Music Loops for your Podcasts

Originally published on: 8/17/2005 5:33:17 AM

I've been looking for background music to build intro's, credits and transitions for podcasts and screencasts (while I wait for UPS to deliver my microphone). Here are a few links to free MP3 or WAV loops and snippets of music for use in podcasts and screencasts.

Lots more (though quite a few are pay-only) on the category page at DMOZ.

[Edit 08/23/2005] Over the past few days, I've found quite a few more places to get this stuff.
