Royalty Free Music
I found these a few months ago while scanning portfolios. A fellow at one site dropped a track behind his demo reel. Some of this stuff is really great quality. May come in handy for some polish work when you just don't have a budget. The best part is it's all royalty free and under creative commons license.
I found this link looking for free music...
Brainy Betty...
Just what I was looking for! Thanks so much! :)
FreePlay Music is one of my favorites:
DigitalJuice.com has really good stuff called StackTraxx. They don't advertise them anymore, but if you call them they have them. Layered music so that one song can be used in a bunch of different ways. And usually pretty cheap, too.
Steve, thanks for posting that site! I have used Kevin MacLeod's music on a few projects (he is the artist who shares his stuff via that site). I think it's so cool that he is willing to share his work so freely, even for commercial use.
Another source for audio is soundsnap.com. Although the downloads cost a little bit, the prices are pretty reasonable (especially if you by a larger package) and they're royalty-free.
I've snagged some movie and audio clips from the public domain archives.
Stock Music Boutique has some very cool tracks too http://goo.gl/SvYkd
Just found and excellent resource: 30 Creative Commons Sources
Here's another site for Royalty Free Music:

You can also get individual songs at:
I've used ccMixter for some short tracks. I even downloaded a couple of songs for my own listening pleasure.
Forgot to mention that PartnersInRhyme donates a portion of every purchase to charity:
