The record

Offering: Incompetech provides Kevin MacLeod’s royalty-free music catalog.

Additional assets: The maker says the main site download includes over 100 GB of music and related downloads, including alternate takes, stems, MIDI files, and sheet music.
Search and player: The maker says the site includes music search and a movable mini-player, and that all pieces appear in search results.
