How much music can you legally add to a project?
The limit doesn't have to do with the amount of music added to a given project. It has to do with the rights to use any given piece of music. Music that is in the public domain can be used freely, without restriction. However, you must check to see that the recorded performance of the music is also in the public domain; it may not be. The song Morning Has Broken is from the old Shaker Hymnal and is in the public domain. The once very popular Cat Stevens recording of it is not. He doesn't own the music itself, but he does own his performance of it (or has assigned those rights to some other entity).Of course, you can make your own recording of music in the public domain without any problem at all. If your project is video, then you have to make sure that you purchase 'mechanical rights' in order to include the music in your video, if the music or the recorded performance of it are not yet in the public domain.
