Did you know how to legally add free background music to your personal videos from right within YouTube?
You can do it with a YouTube feature called “AudioSwap”. It really is as simple as going to “My Videos” and then selecting “AudioSwap”.
Pros: Free, legal commercial music in many genres for unlimited use. No need to upload videos using your own MP3s and trying to find songs online. Great for personal home videos that need a soundtrack.
Cons: Soundtrack is permanently replaced, can’t be used for revenue sharing partners, only good on YouTube, may make ads appear on your video, can not be used with voice-overs. Not really royalty free or copyright free for professional use.
Learn more on the at the official YouTube AudioSwap page and check out this mini-tutorial from about.com.
