VerifiedAny republication of a song requires the permission of the song's copyright owner. It does not matter that you are not reselling the music. Merely presenting it on the web site is enough to violate copyright restrictions.
You may be able to license the music you want for a rather low price. There are numerous sites that license use of music for such purposes, like this one:
http://www.licensemusic.com
But you will need the permission of the copyright holder if you put any music on the web site.
I hope this helps!
