Where can I find non-copyrighted music for use with video and slideshows?

RayInLV asks:

I took a group of pictures of homes decorated for the Holidays and added music by Rachmaninoff. Facebook knocked me down because the recording is Copyrighted.

Where can I get some that I can use without violating copyright laws. I just want some music behind the pictures.

    I am not sure facebook will not do the same thing if you use a non copy righted music.
    you can upload on youtube- private video or shared by link only.

    Hi RayInLV! I’d recommend the Vimeo Music Store. It’s royalty free, high quality, and it only costs about 2 bucks for personal use. However… there are a TON of free songs to download. All of them are available to use for this your videos and slideshows! Let me know if you need anything else.
