If you're a fan of ragtime and jazz, you'll love this site:
http://www.jazz-on-line.com/index.htm
Basically, it's a massive archive of old jazz records. You can listen to and download tons of recordings from artists such as Louis Armstrong and Artie Shaw. The amount of recordings available is staggering (22,325 at the time of this posting) and is constantly being added to. If you want to find a particular song, you can often find multiple recordings of it, and you might even be surprised at what you find (the original recording of Ain't Misbehavin' played and sung by Fats Waller is even available).
This site's been in my favorites for a while now. I don't even remember how I found it. I think I was looking for a recording of The Charleston (which I easily found on this site; the Paul Whiteman recording is awesome, by the way).
So enjoy; in the meantime, I'll be looking at reviewing some CDs for you...
