What can happen if you don’t play secure podcast music on your podcast? That’s one of the puzzles faced by podcasters who want to play music: the cost of licenses.
Or, aside from that, the fear that if you don’t have a proper license in place you’ll be trapped by the RIAA or the Music Police or a Big Brother entity and spend the rest of your life in jail or pay huge fines.
Hmm. Not funny! So I was thrilled when GarageBand.com came out offering thousands of Podsafe songs for free!
In fact, the fun folks at GarageBand.com sell themselves as a place for podsafe music – around 40,000 tracks.
If you’re in a group, you can join GarageBand.com and upload your own songs. There are a number of ways: either review 30 songs and download them for free, or pay a reasonable fee of around $ 20 to download songs, which will then be reviewed by other GarageBand.com members.
As a podcaster, however, this is where the concept really works. You can choose a genre (acoustic, alternative, rock, world, etc.) and download it as you like. Every band that downloads music in one of three arrangements: either they give it to anyone for podcasting under any circumstances, or they offer it once you contact them and ask for permission, or they only offer it in audio streaming. Either way, you get podcast-compatible music for your podcast – and a lot.
And of course, the band is getting free publicity, and GarageBand.com is getting a boost as well because you’re definitely going to want to mention them on your podcast.
I won’t go into all the great benefits musicians and workgroups get from GarageBand.com, but if you’re in a band and haven’t heard of this website, you’ll want to check it out after. our haste.
I’ve been looking to spice up my show with music for a while, and other than playing my own music, this seems to be a great source for podsafe music.
The chairman of GarageBand.com’s advisory board is Sir George Martin, the man who signed the Beatles and produced all of their records (except the Phil-Spector produced “Let It Be”). Jerry Harrison, ex-Talking Head and professional producer, is co-founder.
Listen to GarageBand.com and you’re sure to find some great “podsafe” music for your podcast.
