Online Naxos music library

[teamsaint]

I don't know if others know about this resource, but in case not a link is below. I was made aware of it by esteemed Board member AmpH, so thanks to him.

Click the link, follow the Naxos link, and 80K discs there to enjoy at the click of a mouse. Pretty decent quality and reliabilty from a couple of listens.Advertisement free too.

I guess other councils do this also.
Now THAT is a good use of council tax IMO !!

the Wilts site says you need a 10 digit code, but seems to be working without such a thing.
Be interested to know what the techies think of the quality.

"Maximum number of simultaneous users reached", doesn't let you get any further.

I just logged out, logged back in, and am now enjoying some William Schuman. No tricky stuff, just straight in !!
Can't offer any help, I don't have a log in code or anything.

It's working here,Myaskovsky string quartets,maybe pot luck if it's limited to number of users.
Sound is pretty good too (I am not an expert in bit rates and the like).

Checked a couple of other councils. Most seem require a membership number, free presumably.

Yes - in Northamptonshire you need a code to access it (simply your library ticket number) and then it works like a dream. Lots of other electronic resources too, including Grove, the Times online archives, and plenty more, all for free - and all from the comfort of your own home too. As far as I'm concerned, this is one very good reason why public libraries deserve maximum support.

Hmmm... I too got that message!
Maybe there are hundreds of for3.org message boarders all trying to log in at the same time..?

odd, because I just got in fine, and am enjoying Brahms 2/Jurowski as championed by Caliban.
Perhaps a Techie could help out Waldhorn and others....

If somebody at the Wilts library service is monitoring log ins tomorrow, they are going to get some surpises, hopefully !

I got that message too. Had a go at the spoken word library though!

Astonishing resource! Thanks ts. Do report on the Brahms!

I wonder if its anything to do with using a Mac?

I just got into the Naxos Online Library via the Barbican Library (City of London Libraries)

No User ID was asked for! Sound quality is as good as Spotify's, possibly better.
Previously I had habitually typed in my membership number ... seemingly unnecessarily?

Naxos Online Music Library

Thought this was worth a thread of its own.
This can often be accessed via your county library service, free to use, with a library card number.
it also seems to be accessible from some county services without a number so here are two links that seem to work without a library card.

Please do add any other links to this Library that work for you.

Thanks to AmpH for flagging this up. It is just brilliant !!
THIS is a great way to spend our council tax.
