Whenever I find a song I like on any photographers website I always buy it off of iTunes. Once again the record companies are shooting themselves in the foot. I agree with Dan.

Is not everything in the Public Domain? In a Socialist or Communist State everything belongs to everyone and why not, makes things so much simpler right? Screw that. Give me personal responsibility and let me fall flat on my face for knowingly making a poor choice in life. Just like using copyrighted material knowing full well that I may get popped for it some day. If you are under 18 and having fun making personal videos and such then I can let that go. Music being used professionally had better be paid for, just like images and words. I own the complete Stock 20 library and a selection of Triple Scoop music offerings so that I do not infringe on a musicians rights. I have seen/heard countless professional photographers using major recording artists works for professional use and I know damn well they never got authorization or paid any price for the pleasure of using the audio track. If a photographer complains about someone using their images without permission and they have ever used anyone else's material without authorization then they know what is what, right? Maybe not. “Copyright Infringement” it’s really nothing at all in the large scheme of things now is it? Is not everything in the Public Domain?

As a musician (yes, I wear that hat too), I'd be more than happy to have my name and song/album title accompanying a slideshow that 100s of family members are bound to view. If they like it, they might just buy it. Besides, how many people actually know how to or would want to extract low-quality audio from one of these flash slideshows?
