Free Music with Creative Commons License

Hi,

I was listening to a podcast and they were discussing places to go on the web to get music for free
for your video projects (as long as you follow the guidelines for the Creative Commons License;you are not profiting from the video and you credit the artist). They said that there are a lot of artists that would be flattered to have their music used in videos.

I thought that this would be a great time saving way to go,
(a lot less time trying to compose my own music, and get back to my editing)
but this seemed like something that was too good to be true,
So I went to some of the sites (Podsafeaudio,garageband.com, Splice) and found a lot of music that was available for streaming, but not very much that I could actually download and insert into a video project. And even if there were some songs that could be downloaded, it took forever to go through them and find out which ones were streaming & which ones were downloadable.

Does anyone out there use this method of obtaining music for their projects?
Or maybe I should put it this way, what is the best way to go about having some music available to select from for video projects?

Thanx,
