I don't know if it's the right thing to introduce yet another on-line music source, but I think this is a really fun site. It is basically a "cratedigger" site (for record nerds obsessed by private pressed acetates found in some barn under three feet of scrap metal.) But they do have both a "Folk" section and a "Folkways" section. Most of the time there is a full length mp3 file to download along with info on the album.
There is a lot of knowledge around, and often people tend to track down the history of the recordings. There is also a whole lot of extremely weird records, in every genre imaginable. You wouldn't want to miss out on a bonafide classic like "Starlight Children’s Chorus – E.T., I Love You & Other Extra-Terrestrial Songs For Children".
Might be a bit off topic, but no one with the slightest interest in music should pass on this one. Lots of great music.

Right on target, Fredrik--not to worry. I think you'll have us all hooked. If only there were an infinite number of hours in the day!
PS. If you have some miracle way of down-load the streaming files (an available softwhere? Nathaniel tells me he's found one that works for YouTube)--that would be great. Then we could make a file of the things we're doing without sepending on the variations of the web...
Maybe talk with Anthony and Steph and Nathaniel about this...
