My violin teacher recommended Naxos Classical Music to me last week as a place where I could listen to recordings of the pieces I am working on. It looks like for US$19.95 (or EUR€19.95 ?? Was someone too lazy to do the currency conversion? Or do the intertubes cost more in Europe?) you can get a year’s subscription to them where you can download all the classical music you want to listen to. It sounds like they also have Historical, Film Music, Jazz/Blues, Nostalgia, and World/New Age, but I’m not sure to what extent. You can also get a free subscription where you hear 25% of each track. I’m thinking of doing that to see what kind of selection they have. I think it would be great for someone like me who has a very limited classical and jazz cd collection, but would like to start listening to more without spending hundreds of dollars.

[Update: I don't know if it will work on my MacBook, and the search capability is a little crummy. Also, maybe the service is cheaper in the US since it apparently does not include the Jazz Legends recordings, which is a bummer.]
