Podsafe Audio


After listening to the SXSW Podcast on Podcasting I went and looked around for “podsafe” music and audio to check out stuff for the upcoming podcast. “Podsafe” audio means that artists have released music that they allow the public to use for their own purpose just as long as they don’t take credit for the original artist’s work.

I searched around and found Podsafeaudio.com. They offer music from almost every genre you can think of and The site is interactive too. You can rate songs, download them, send comments to the artist, or upload music that you wouldn’t mind sharing with other people.

In regards to a PR application in social media, I feel that Podsafeaudio.com and other podsafe sharing sites are great platforms for artists to get there music out to people and interact with them. Also, artists can interact with each other and find other musicians in their area. And best of all for the listeners – it is FREE to download. I think it is great that there are artists out there that allow people to use their music for things such as podcasting. The podcast themselves are social media public relations tools.

In the end, it seems that both musician and podcaster benefit. So check out Podsafeaudio.com and go search around the web and get some podsafe songs and audio for your podcast.

I completely agree. It's pretty neat that there are artists out there that aren't so damn snobby and allow users to use their music on podcasts. I'm sure that if their music is used on a podcast no one would try and take credit for it anyhow. Anyhow, I think that's awesome.
