If you are placing music in your missions, try to do it the same way films do. Pick a song that fits the situation, something that sets the mood. If you are showing a sad cutscene, you probably don't want Bobbie McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" playing. And if you are playing the music during the mission where the player is a fighter pilot in the middle of attacking a heavily-defended base, then Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major" is probably a poor choice.


An example:

Action scene, you are Vulcan gunner defending against several nasty bombers....AC/DC - "Big Guns"

Music choice is loud, sounds well even over roaring vulcan. Good tempo and beat, just the right BPM I think. Song title also matches the situation, 'Big Guns'. Popular band, very few would not like this kind of song.

Search free music sites.

But I doubt you'll find whole songs. The only free stuff I find is not more than 10 secs of sounds. The best place for full songs is your own collection of CDs or .mp3s.

There's lots of sites offering free music downloads. Here's just two:

Be prepared to dig through a whole bunch of trash for a few pearls though.

Most people have a hard on for Rock mate. I don't but most do. You can't go wrong with a bit of Rock.

Classical/less rock for presenting peaceful things or civvie things. Heavier rock or metal for battles and rap is a big no no in my book. I can hear enough in the city to......
I don't think it fits.

Its usually what fits for you. If I ever want to try a song without making it a .ogg and making a .ext, I'll use my comp CD player in the backround and hit play then play the part of the mission that the music applies to.
