What am legally able to do as far as music goes?
Can I use a David Bowie tune "Heroes" without paying a fee, if the I don't make any money on the game?
I would like to add a good song for each room the character enters.
No. You would need to pay royalties even for non-commercial games.
Search for "royalty-free music" if you want to use others' music free of charge. Remember to credit them in your game if you use their music.

or alternatively look for music released under a creative commons license.
Thanks.
I spent most of the morning finding music.
I chose 10 songs from someone called Danosongs.
