We all know copying music from CDs for our slideshows is illegal.... right?
I just purchased several songs from this site. They are great and very inexpensive. Check them out:

I did 2 slideshows today, Finding dramatic music that fits the subject is tough. Lets keep this thread for royalty free links, cause I need more MUSIC! :)
It's illegal if you sell it. It's not illegal for personal use.
Actually, interesting enough, it IS illegal for you to play the radio or any non RF (or purchased rights) music while you have clients in the studio. PPA gets calls about it all the time and you "COULD" get busted and fined for doing it. Its considered using the music for commercial purposes.

I thought you were talking about putting music behind a slideshow.. not playing the radio to clients... sorry.
Wait, are you telling me that having the radio on while taking pictures of someone is illegal? Come again? I must be misunderstanding something here.
Yup, that's right. Its considered 'using the music for commercial purposes'. Its the same for any business place. Ever notice you get canned music in most stores and NEVER radio stations? That's why.
You mean I can't use 8 second clips of 38 different songs for my 5 minute slideshow? :P
Well no.... The maths major in me requires that I mention that you need to hide 4 seconds somewhere to do that :-) Now you could speed up the playback a little [resisting the urge to put a percentage here] but some peoples ears notice stuff like that :0)
I guess sampling has been used before to avoid that but as far as I know they had some real stuff in there of their own. Now how much you have to have would be an interesting question :-)
Edit: Cause while I can do the maths.... I cannot figure out how to make my fingers type what I meant to say rather then what they think :-)

No, I'm pretty sure I hear the radio at my barber...
A little more reading confirms what you say, although it also said that 6 or more people in your back yard around a radio constituted a "public broadcast". I think this one sorta falls under the "oh well" category...
