Free Music Archive is a community-curated library of free, largely Creative Commons–licensed music, originally launched by radio station WFMU in 2009 and now operated separately under Tribe of Noise.
Value is genre and curator breadth, discoverable through individual curator collections rather than one organization's uniform catalog.
Fits browsing and discovery of free, legal music; for guaranteed pre-cleared commercial licensing, the paired Tribe of Noise Pro tier is the better fit.
Individual tracks carry different Creative Commons licenses (CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-SA, etc.) set by each uploader: always check a specific track's license before commercial or monetized use.
A free music library backed by legendary freeform radio station WFMU.
