Eng:Scratch Forums Music

Scratch Forums Music is a series of compilations of music made by users of the Scratch Forums, and more specifically the off-topic sections Things I'm Making and Creating and Things I'm Reading and Playing (as well as Miscellaneous, when it was open). It was started in early 2011 by veggieman001 and has currently released five compilations, at the rate of one per year.

Each compilation is released for free under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 license.

This is arguably the largest Scratch collaboration, although it is only well-known on the Scratch Forums and does not make Scratch projects or operate like most collaborations.

Soundtrack to Miscellaneous, Vol. 1
The first compilation, Soundtrack to Miscellaneous, Volume 1, was initiated with [ this forum topic] on March 22, 2011. After seven months during which users could submit their songs for inclusion, the album was released onto the Scratch Forums. Its artwork is by veggieman001.

Soundtrack to Miscellaneous, Vol. 2

Songs We're Making and Creating
