My GameSalad partner says to tell your GameSalad partner "No. No you can't"
Music, just as much as graphics, falls under that pesky 'copyright' thing I'm afraid!
One of my best friends actually sources music for games from established acts - it cost thousands and thousands of pounds/dollars.
I've spent the weekend playing with LSDJ on the GameBoy. I absolutely love it, and would recommend it. It's only like $2 for the rom, and you can use it via emulator to make your own music.
Then there's Garageband as well.
Or try incompetech.com where you can get free music but make sure you credit the musician, Kevin Macleod (of the Clan Macleod, probably. So you don't want to mess with him).
Or you could offer to pay some of the musicians here. Sparky's very versatile I hear.
So there are options - but stealing a song from Beyonce and the like will only get you into trouble.
that is exactly what i told him and then the next day he sent me a 5 page list titled "music we can use in our games" im going to have to email him the link to this thread. Thanks qs

Hope that clears things up!
