AudioMicro, a well-know stock audio site, had today announced that is adding 13,000 musical score tracks.

While AudioMicro has always had a wide-selection of royalty free music, the new assortment of musical tracks are much more in the vein of musical scores for films. Known as “The Premium Collection”, the new assortment of music ranges from just a few seconds in length to over 5 minutes.

“The Premium Collection is a big step forward for us,” said AudioMicro Founder Ryan Born. “In addition to our superb collection of user-generated content, we can now deliver, on-demand, thousands of production music tracks created by one of the world’s most respected record labels. Our users will be excited by the unprecedented quality, size and scope of this collection.”

We got the opportunity to take an early look at the collection and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and range of what was up for offer.  We aren’t going to say every track is a winner (some of them sound like rejected tracks from low-grade 80’s films), but overall the music if of a very high quality.

Considering how copyright holders are cracking down more and more on music usage around the Internet, these new tracks could be a dream come true for those wishing to video podcasts, short films and so on.  No more tinny sounding things pumped out of your computer, or professional songs that could get you sued. Royalty free music is definitely the way to go.
