If by royalty-free, you mean cheap to use forever, you might check out www.pbtm.com. I've bought two CDs from them that I've been quite pleased with, but you can buy the individual songs very cheaply, too. (The collections turn out to be cheaper per song, of course.) I don't have "professional" ears, but they sound great to me, and the reviews were good. I ordered the WAV versions so I could pull them into Cool Edit.
PBTM's one-time fee is very modest, and you are then licensed to use the music indefinitely for all your recording projects. The only caution about this is, if you want to use it only as audio (not over video or multimedia projects), you're supposed to record in voice every 30 seconds. I've gotten around this by recording voice subliminally (because I bought this to make hypnotherapy and brainwave entrainment CDs); I don't know if they'd consider that a license violation or not--they don't specify volume in the license--but I'm not doing anything major mass-produced with it so I'm not gonna worry about it.
By the way, one of the collections I got contained a song called "Sundown" that sounded very familiar to me. Turned out, it was used in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," one of my favorite movies.
