I recently purchased the Sony Vegas Movie Maker HD Platinum 10 and on the box it says that I have access to 360 royalty free music. I am new to this and I have tried my best and spent alot of time trying to find this. Can anyone tell me where I would find this music? Maybe I am just not looking in the right place and its a little frustrating. I've tried calling Sony, but always on hold for quite awhile. HELP - Thanks.

I think they are on the installation disc somewhere in a folder called "Content".

They don't get installed onto you computer automatically when you install the software. If you want to use them you'll have to locate them on the disc and then copy them to a folder somewhere on your hard drive.

Tim L. Thank you. I just copied them onto my hard drive. Now, onto whatever my next frustration might be.

I bought various versions of Vegas using the download purchases. The royalty free music is a secondary download you can access from the 'My Account' > 'My Software' section under the menu at the top of this page. Without a list of the tunes being downloaded, I decided to download each newer set of music in a seperate folder on my main hard drive - then compared the list of old and new audio files - to make sure the files with the same names were in fact the same sound, and to figure out which ones were new or different. You get the idea.... Once I'd finished downloading and comparing, I put the files (still inside their individual group named folders) into a generic 'Audio' file I created inside my root folder for SONY under 'Programs'. This way, it is easy to find after any upgrade. I also keep a seperate 'Sound FX' folder in this 'Audio' folder and a third folder for 'Recordings.' To access these files for importing them into a project, I set my 'Audio' folder as a 'favourite' which is an option on the dropdown menu while using the 'Explorer' tab inside the Vegas application.
