Digging Deep For Treasure

Finding Gems in the CSS Music Library

We’ve frequently discussed using our search engine and the three convenient ways to find music. And in most situations, simply using our Hand Picked Genre/Category Hot Lists menu will quickly get results.

But what if you’re looking for something particular that’s a wee bit off the beaten path? Maybe you need a track specified by a client or your Music Supervisor in less-than-clear terminology? Well…this is where both the CSS Music Keyword Alpha Lists and Build-A-Search by Keyword search engines shine.

If the directive is simply like “Action” and “Hip Hop,” you’ll find the dropdown menu in the Keyword Alpha Lists engine will swiftly yield treasures. Even if you add the additional parameter “Rap” you’ll get results, albeit a single track. While we’ve conveniently used examples that work with the Alpha Lists alphabet constraints, you will probably find workaround words to fit your needs.

When you’ve been asked to find something more esoteric with words like “Energy” and “Action,” you’ll find the Build-A-Search delivers excellent results. Even a more obscure description like “Nature, Gentle, Soft” will lead to just the right choices. If you want to see the Build-A-Search really perform, type in “Cinematic, Action” and enjoy 14 pages of our terrific film music.


Our goal at CSS Music is to make your work go faster and to make the process of finding music as easy as possible. While many music libraries use just one search system, we believe our constantly evolving keyword search methodology will be the process you’ll choose to use time and again!
