good site for downloading music?
on: December 16, 2004, 09:14:58 PM
Are there any good sites to download classical music for free?

All I have found it karadar.net

Also, is there any site that has a vid clip of a pianist?  I haven't found one online.  I just want to see a clip of Horowitz, or whomever.

Not sure about free.. maybe some scattered here and there..

don't use "Kazaa" or any of those file swapping applications, for one they are generally illegal, and 2, you are asking to infect your computer with spyware.

I'd recommend a subscription service ($9.95 per month) called Rhapsody from Listen.com

They have something like 100,000 records online. Every classical piece I've ever looked for has been available in multiple versions.

You do need a high-speed internet connection.
