I'm a homeschooling parent and this year, I'm using my PPC to record my own voice reading various historical storybooks. Then, while I'm at work, my kids will do their homework, part of which will be to listen to me reading the stories to them as they look at the picturebook from which I read.
I'm using Vito's SoundExplorer (v3.5 -- note that the "enhanced" v4 says my iPAQ 1910 is too slow to record a WAV file) to record my voice. To read a longer book, I have to create multiple WAV files and then piece them together. I export into an MP3 file format when I'm done.
I'm using Audacity -- freeware -- to do the editing with good success so far (I just downloaded that program last night, and it pieced the audio together just fine and exported just fine).
What I want to do now is add background music. Depending on the selection I'm reading, it would either be light, whimsical music or something more dramatic if I'm at a point of rising action in the story.
Audacity says it can mix tracks, but I need free, legal, background music to use for my audio books.
Where can I go to find well-organized, free, legal, background music?
