Looking for suggestions or opinions on a company that can provide a good value for production music. Need to fill a one hour HD special for broadcast. Thanks.

Check www.revostock.com

Some good stuff if you are willing to spend some time sifting. Incredibly reasonable rates.

I've used music bakery, flying hands, opuzz, and fresh music and they're all good with lots of variety and not expensive.

Depends on what you are looking for

There does not seem to be a one size fits all badass value price leader. However, I've spent way more time than I admit to myself trolling the various options, and I'm picky about the websites and systems as much as the library - here's my 2 cents -

Productiontrax.com - value and usability leader for more traditional made for TV and cinema stuff, and a LOT of it. Have found some amazing gems here for next to nothing. Not needle drop licenses, meaning, simpler, cheaper.

Rumblefish - for more genre based stuff, incredible value, and some well known and strong indie bands - many in the art rock and world genres well suited to doco/broadcast work - for very fair prices, simple licensing, great website.

APM - the 1000 pound gorilla for need drop production music. Seems to average about 350 bucks per needle drop, but HUGE library, very strong browsing/web systems, and a lot of top notch content.

I could go on, but these 3 seem to cover 90% of our needs.

I second Revostock. THere's a lot of crap on there but if you sift through it some really good tracks. They have different prices for different licenses as well, all of which are reasonable.

dwolfemusic.com, hands down.
Their tunage is good and they haggle. They'll allow you to pay one flat fee for an entire project. Makes it nice to not count needledrops as ya edit.
