Audio:

• Find UO recordings using this guide.  If you're using it only for class, you can pretty much use anything you'd like.  However, if you're planning on selling your application, then the advice from the Music Librarian, Leslie Bennett is "Have their friends write specific pieces for the phone-it employs musicians, doesn't violate copyright, and provides us with those lovely tunes that stick in your mind, such as those employed by Wii and XBox.  (We have a few composers in the School of Music who make their living writing for computer games, phones, etc.)"  Otherwise, you'll need to get permission from the publishers and/or the artists to use the recordings.
