If you didn't write it or record it your self, you still are synchronizing it. Music and visuals together. (The term comes from the film industry.) If you compose it and record it, you still are synchronizing it... But if it's yours you "give your self" permission to synchronize it. The public performance just makes matters worse if they (Riaa, etc) go after you. Best bet if you really want to use a off the shelf selection of music is to get written permission from the copyright holders, write your letters now, explain how and what you want to use it for and hope for the best. Some artists are very gracious (and they still control their music) As I said before, if it's under licence from Sony don't waste your time, pick something else.
