What is this? Incompetech Royalty-Free Music tracks (.mp3) sorted by genre, split into folders to stay below VAM's upload limit, converted to a Unity assetbundle, then converted to a VAR.
Note: There are 2 VAR packages for this genre in the drop down list as it is a larger category. These are songs listed on the artists AllMusicTxt document under the category "Everything Else". Everything Else is a category created by the artist for songs that they couldn't easily put into a category or that possibly cross multiple genres. Many of the songs may be organized into genres in the future on their website.
For example, Everything Else 1 includes the artists version of the song Take Me Out To The Ballgame (Ballgame) which was originally released in 1908 and is public domain. They have also submitted the song for inclusion in the YouTube Audio Library:
The YouTube Audio Library might also be another good resource to find more music from artists that share Royalty-Free production music:
"In the Audio Library in YouTube Studio, you can find royalty-free production music and sound effects to use in your videos."

Important Note
I sorted the music into different Unity assetbundle vars based on his original "AllMusicFiles.txt" that lists a majority of his songs and includes a category for "Everything Else":
There are some songs that can be in more than one genre and I noticed that some from the original list have been adjusted to another genre on his website or vice versa.
How to listen to songs before downloading the Unity assetbundle VAR?
Incompetech.com puts some of their best royalty free music on their website to download individually as an mp3. The easiest way to preview these songs is to go to their website and search by song.
Search Songs
incompetech.com
1. Search the song
2. Click the song title to view expanded options
3. Click the "Listen Now!" button
4. Play, Stop, adjust the slider to skip ahead in the song
A lot of the songs are also posted on his YouTube channel (670k+ subscribers) as he's been creating and uploading Royalty-Free music for over 10+ years. You can go to his Videos list and search the song title and also read reviews on what others said about the song:
Why Incompetech?
I was working on a project and had concerns about using music that wasn't royalty free in it and wanted to find some royalty free music so I wouldn't have any problems in the future with it. I searched Reddit and found posts from over 10+ years ago recommending Incompetech to filmmakers, artists, etc. I listened to a lot of songs and found a lot I liked and that worked in my scene and created a playlist that included songs from multiple genres. Overall he's just an amazing musician and artist and I think it's a good place to start if you're looking for Royalty-Free Music in your scene or project.
Why Unity assetbundle VARS?
Assetbundles are faster to add to a scene for creators, have 10-50x faster loading times for end users, and are easier to move from scene to scene if you develop a combination you like and want to try out on other scenes. They can also be played with a randomizer like LogicBricks RandomSoundFromAB and can be used as background music in a coffee shop scene, diner scene, club scene, etc. By converting them to VARS it helps reduce duplicates for users that already have it on VAM as VAM has a VAR tracking system that scans for what you already have.
How do I recommend using music assetbundles?
There are a lot of different ways you could use this. One way I would recommend is on your AudioSource add the plugin MacGruber LogicBricks RandomSoundFromAB (playlist) or SoundFromAB (individual song). I like to use Acid Bubbles Keybindings plugin to duplicate the AudioSource atom and rename it MusicSource so I have a separate one for music. Duplicating it retains it's location and can help you have separate control just for it and avoid future Sub Scene merge issues.
Load the assetbundle on that by searching Addon Packages for "VamEssentials" and/or the assetbundle name. Click Add by Filter and it will add all tracks or select the individual track you want. Click the Test Trigger button to begin triggering it to listen to songs in your scene. You can then click x to remove any songs you don't want in the playlist. If you like it, create a button that triggers it to start/stop playing in your scene. By putting it on the AudioSource or MusicSource you can then create a Sub Scene that has the MusicSource and buttons to load your playlist on multiple scenes for your personal use or testing.
