Pyramid Tracks: Obscure, retro, and weird royalty free music
- mrozel 7y agoI actual quite enjoy the music but the "pyramidtracks.com" voice kept me from listening and browsing the site.
- the-dude 7y agoWhat exactly does royalty free mean when I need put my tracks into a shopping cart? I have been using https://bensound.com https://bensound.com, which is much nicer ( not affiliated ).
- jonathankoren 7y agoRoyalty free just means that you don't have to pay every time you play it. You pay a simple flat rate. It's no different than purchasing a stock photo, or stock sound effects.

- somada141 7y ago+1 for bensound.com (no affiliation either). Per my understanding of their terms [0] the free tracks can be used in YT videos as long as you credit them. Unfortunately, the tracks that can be retrieved without subscription are a precious few but I found them rather pleasing. Been doing a bit of research on the topic lately and haven't come up with sites as permissive as bensound.com. Anyone else aware of similar ones?

- torbjorn 7y agoThis website rejects long passwords and provides the message "your password must be at least 6 characters" when doing so. Otherwise, cool. I signed up.
- theandrewbailey 7y agoAfter clicking around a few artists and albums, playing a particular track in the list plays the wrong track (what it's playing is often not even listed).
- ydnaclementine 7y agoVery cool resource! If I was making a game, I would use this a ton for background music, etc
- mikkom 7y agoIf you would be making a game, you should also probably check http://freemusicarchive.org/ http://freemusicarchive.org/

- GrumpyNl 7y agoThat site gives me an error 500
- tcfunk 7y agoI had the same thought :) The track "Driven" by "Blue Crystal Star" stood out to me in that regard.
- founderling 7y agoTerms and Conditions This website is operated by Pyramid tracks. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Pyramid tracks. Pyramid tracks offers this website, including all information, tools and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here. I wonder how these type of nonsense "TOS" that are on so many Show HNs these days came up for the first time. A fantasy name like "Pyramid Tracks" is not a legal entity. So it cannot operate a website or make a contract with the visitor/customer.
- the-dude 7y agoIn The Netherlands you are obliged to mention your Chambre of Commerce ID if you are selling ( directly to consumers ).
- jlujan 7y agoLayout is very similar to https://artlist.io/page/aboutus https://artlist.io/page/aboutus
- the-dude 7y agoInteresting find. Whois does not show correlation ( site is almost identical ).
