Adding Copyright Free Music, Soundtrack to Youtube Videos

- Select any Track. (To the right of the list is a Preview button so you can preview the video with the audio).
NOTE: It is highly suggested you check “Only show songs of similar length to my video”, and if you really want to go for the thought-provoking style of music, always go with “Soundtrack” for the genre.
