Sounds
like a sensible plan of action.
I guess there
would be no problem in using music from your CDs if you just play it in a
booth, fMRI scanner, and the like.
But, let’s
consider the stage of dissemination of results, and let’s imagine that you want to use the Internet, social media, and so on, to disseminate your work... For example you may want to design a web page, upload a video on
Youtube showcasing your research... including, of course, the music....
Lots of
fun, yes... But if you didn’t use copyright-free music for your experiments,
then, I guess you might be constrained for that kind of dissemination.
I also
read the thread you provided and there is one contribution along these lines from
David Smith: “[...] if you are using the web for your research and inviting the
public to take part as subjects - you are creating a way for the public to
access material for which you do not own the copyright [...]”
These are
just examples of very specific situations.... it all depends on what you want
to do...

Asunto: Re: [AUDITORY] Question about using music samples in research
Thank you all who replied both here on the List and backchannel to me.
I think we have a plan of action -- we will try for copyright-free music but if that is
not possible we will use music from CDs/downloads that we bought.
There was an earlier thread on this issue:
