The Emergence of Creative Commons in Licensing Music
The way to license music is increasingly becoming easier with the emergence and popularity of creative commons. Game developers can find suitable background music not in the traditional way (like securing license from the publisher by paper documentation) but using online licensing solutions. It could be possible to find suitable songs as theme for the games which does not usually happen in the past. With the increasing supply of music but decreasing demand, music publishers face a challenge to find suitable solutions to market music; one of them is offering consumers a free license of the music.
However not it is not a full license, but offering them a short sample say 45 seconds is enough even for game developers and film movie directors.

I think there is a slow shift by consumers towards paid for downloads when it comes to music. I-tunes have lead the way but others are following. It turns out that people are prepared to pay is the quality is good and they get what they want quick.
I think we need more competition in the market as 79p per track is still quite expensive as it cost the record labels next to nothing to have an mp3 on a server. Not that cds were expensive to manufacture as they were not.

Free is the popular but not the only way to market licensed music. Need more creativity and create better value to attract people.

This is really a win win situation for both the parties. Now the game companies, especially smaller game companies can have the best music in their games, without paying huge amount of License fees.
