List of Youtube Music Partners?

I often create tutorial videos for Youtube about security issues and I like to use soundtracks as a backdrop. I know there are places where I can download free music legally and use them in my projects, I am also aware that Youtube provides an "Audioswap" feature that I can use. But sometimes I just want to use a commercial, copyrighted music track. I know that Youtube has partnered with a lot of major music companies that will allow you to legally use some commercial tracks in your videos as long as you content-match it and allow advertisements. One video I did used "Clubbed to Death (matrix version)" by Rob Dougan and that was allowed. What I'm asking is where can I find a list of music partners and if possible songs that I can use legally as long as I accept advertisements on my videos?... any help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, there is no official list of artists/songs that allow YouTube users to upload videos with their songs in them (according to YouTube).

    Your best bet is to just do some browsing through other videos across YouTube to get an idea of which songs people are using that haven't been removed...those ones are likely safe to use in your videos.
