Amen. There's much free stuff, but sifting though it is unfathomably tedious to me. It's all the same if you search for royalty-free music. I know I shouldn't complain, but most artists sharing free stuff "do not get it" when it comes to music for video with only a handful of tracks that are suitable. (Searching for something that is neither distracting from the video nor too boring) Can somebody recommend an aggregator of royalty-free music that is not: - from Kevin McLeod (Incompetech) - from Jason Shaw (Audionautix) - from ccMixter? I think it's possible to find singular stuff on SoundCloud, but discovery of royalty-free music is not great on that platform.

This is not the thing you've asked for and it requires a bit of work to extract usable data from it, but I scraped Bandcamp a while ago (2019), along with the licenses of the tracks, genres and fan count, and made it available on Archive.org [0]. In theory, you should be able to parse the files, filter out libre/free music (CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA) and even order it by genre and fan count to get some options for music. There's also the Free Music Archive (FMA) [1], StarFrosch [2] and ccTrax [3] (not to be confused with ccMixter).
