Music in games is really important, yet it can also be one of the hardest areas to get right.  For those starting out it is also important to be able to find suitable music that will enhance gameplay, but also work on a budget. 

One of the options available is to look for royalty free music. What is this exactly? Well, royalty free music essentially refers to music that is licensed to you in a way that lets you pay for it once, but use it as many times as you like and for as long as you like.  The royalty free element refers to the fact that you will not need to pay any ongoing royalties for using a piece of music.
