You can use this audio track in any of your videos, including videos that you monetize. No attribution is required.

## Music Collection

The music is categorized by mood to match the `MusicMoodEnum` in the project:

## How to Add New Music

To add new music to the project:

1. Add your MP3 file to this directory (`static/music/`)
2. Update the `src/short-creator/music.ts` file by adding a new record to the `musicList` array:

```typescript
{
  file: "your-new-music-file.mp3",  // Filename of your MP3
  start: 5,                        // Start time in seconds (when to begin playing)
  end: 30,                          // End time in seconds (when to stop playing)
  mood: MusicMoodEnum.happy,        // Mood tag for the music
}
```

## Usage

The shorts creator uses these mood tags to filter and match appropriate music with video content. Choose tags carefully to ensure proper matching between music mood and video content.
