Here is why: Since you add music to a video, it means the music is transformed, and under ND, you cannot distribute the material if you transform it.
Free here means free of royalty , as opposed to "Protected or Rights Managed". For rights managed music , however, you have to pay royalties for recurring use.

As the music sites peddling royalty-free music bloom, the definition becomes blurred, partly due to advertising strategy. If you register and purchase the so-called extended license, no attribution is required. There are many subtle rules and the best practice is to consult the legal representatives of that site to nail down every detail.
