Where do you actually source background music for video projects
I keep running into licensing confusion when adding music to short videos. Some tracks look free until a claim shows up later. Curious what other people here rely on for background audio and how you verify that a track is genuinely safe to use.

My experience is that the licensing terms matter more than how good a track sounds. I have had claims appear on videos months after upload, which is why I now keep a record of where every file came from. Libraries built for stock and production use tend to be more predictable than random uploads, since the terms are written down and do not change quietly. If anyone wants to compare options, copyright free music from InAudio is one catalogue worth looking at, with royalty free tracks for videos, presentations, games and apps. What I found practical there is the availability of loops and short edits at 15, 30 and 60 seconds, which cuts down manual trimming during editing. Pricing runs as a monthly subscription around 7.99, a discounted yearly option, or a single track licence for one project. Genres cover corporate, cinematic, sports and children's music. Still, I would read the licence text yourself rather than trust a summary, mine included.
