CloseI've been thinking about the musical side of my games, and I was thinking about trying to use as little RTP as possible. Should I just use music from existing videogames? I can't make my own music, and probably no one would work for free on music for a "noobish" game...
Existing video games are always an option, and is no more frowned upon than using ripped sprites.
However, type something like "free midis" and "free RPG midis" in google. A lot of freelance composers have put their work up for free use (as long as you credit them). It takes a bit of digging, but there's a lot out there.

Not everyone can create their own music or find a composer. Kentona's option or Video Game Midis really are your best bet. I wouldn't suggest plonking the Final Fantasy 7 OST in your music folder, but I'm not against using popular music at all. Just search around a bit and find what suits it best.

If you don't want to use copyrighted music and you don't mind using MP3s, then Newgrounds' audio portal is a good place to start your search. Anything posted there is free to use (the licensing terms show up on every song's page), and there are plenty of artists who make music specifically for games. Like this guy.

I know how you feel, I just think you should obscure game music. Sure some people will know where it's from but at least it's not RTP which everyone has listened to a countless time.
There is also these sites that I think are listed here. I don't know, forgot what's on the Helpful link topic.
