The creative commons license that Dan-O’s uses, waves his rights to collect PRO (Performing Rights Organization) royalties.

If you absolutely don’t want to give credit for whatever reason, then a simple donation of $10 per track can be offered in exchange.
In closing, Dan-O may also be able to help you with custom made music projects. Depending on the use, his available time, and the style of music.
