We have a growing music business at Jupitermedia. Many would not associate with us music, but we believe we are the largest owner of royalty free music in the world. We have a few music sites. The best known is RoyaltyFreeMusic.com. And just the other day we bought Flying Hands Music to add to our royalty free music library.

Our music operations go back to late 2005 when we came across Mike Bielenberg. Mike is a musician who had created a royalty free music site called Bbm.net. Mike approached us about doing a deal with our image operations to sell both music and images. We were so impressed with Mike we bought his site and hired Mike to run our music business.

Fast forward to today. Mike oversees Jupitertunes in our Atlanta office. One of the other benefits of having Mike onboard is that he can also write. If you get a chance check out his informative blog.

We have lots of new plans in and around royalty free music. We will be rolling out a major new way for organizations to buy royalty free background music for Web sites and other purposes in late February.
