Royalty free music available to .Mac users
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
September 27th 2002
Apple offers royalty-free music, ideal for video editing on its iDisk.
For those who subscribe to .Mac, you have something to look forward to in the future.
For those letting the clock run out, you still have a chance to get some royalty free
music while you can.
Many may not realize that Apple maintains a free MP3 library of FreePlay's
royalty-free music. Actually called "mechanical, synchronization and master recording
rights," the music may be used in any work, such as video editing or music
synchronization. The music bits are timed to specific needs such as 10,15,30 and 60
second bits, ideal for commercials or quick clips.
The FreePlay music was brought to my attention through reader comments from a recent
IGM article looking at pros for subscribing to .Mac. Apple's .Mac service will end its
free preview on September 30 for its iTools users. Current iTools users can upgrade to
.Mac for $50 for the first year. After the preview period and the promotional upgrade
offer, .Mac will be $100 a year for all subscribers.
The music is available to download inside the Software/Extras folder in your iDisk.
The music is also available for download via FreePlay's Web site, so you're not really
missing out if you lose .Mac. In total, the music is about 1.3 GB in size. For
subscribers of .Mac, they have the convenience of using the iDisk to store the music
for future use, rather than maintain it on a local hard drive. I suppose also it's
easier to browse and download the music via .Mac than from the FreePlay Web site.
