Free Holiday Music Mix + Resources
There's a ton of free holiday music out there on the Internet. But a lot of it is low-quality, made using cheap MIDI sounds, or ripped from a CD illegally without the artists' permission (not in-line with the Holiday spirit). If you spend some time digging around aimlessly you might start to wonder...maybe it's not all worth digging through, especially in this time of year that we'd, at least in theory, rather spend with family than in cyberspace.

Well it is worth digging through if you can just get to the good stuff! The holiday season has inspired some amazing music. Everyone has their own taste of course (I'm more of a Song-Poem and awful[ly-good] music fan myself). But whatever your flavor, it's out there. And fortunately, there are some great resources for quality CC holiday music of all sorts, outlined below. As a starting-point for your visit to the Free Music Archive, I made this little mix (at left). Most of it is Creative Commons-licensed -- click the "i" next to each track for the specific license, and to learn more about each artist. Many of these artists have more free mp3s to share on the FMA, and a few of them have some Christmas-oriented collections. This mix is just the tip of the digital iceberg, on the FMA and beyond. |
