How do I know if the music I download is copyright protected before I upload it to YouTube?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

I have youtube videos and usually for the credits I would download a song and add it to the video. When I upload it to youtube I look to see if its copy right and it is.. It doesn't get deleted but I don't get as many views that I would like to.. So how do I make sure a song isn't copy right before I have to re make the video upload it again and then deleted it and re do it with a different song .. so forth
