Naxos Music Library
Naxos Music Library is the most comprehensive collection of classical music available online. The database also contains music in contemporary jazz, world music (including a specific collection of Chinese music), folk music and a small collection of pop and rock. The database offers access to over 250,000 (and growing) tracks of music to the campus community. While listening, you can read notes on the works being played as well as biographical information on composers or artists in Naxos's extensive database. Tracks in NML are *NOT* downloadable to any device.
The database is available 24/7 to the entire University community via the internet, thus greatly increasing the access to recorded music in the Libraries' collection of vinyl, tape and CD audio recordings.
Try Naxos Music Library.
