Free music from the Naxos Music Library via Devon Libraries
This link - https://www.devonlibraries.org.uk/web/arena/referenceonline - tells you about a range of free reference services offered by Devon Libraries. Amazingly this also includes free access to the whole of the Naxos Music catalogue, and you can listen to all the albums (more than 143,000 discs, which is over 2 million tracks!) by keying in your own library number from your library card (see Literature for more details about library services). The music is then streamed to you, so you do need to be online to listen to it. See https://devonlibrary.naxosmusiclibrary.com/recentadditions.asp.
The Naxos Music Library is also available as an downloadable app for your tablet or smartphone from your usual app provider (and you will need to register to use this - and it's free - and once done, it's excellent). From the app, music is streamed, and some music can be downloaded so that you can listen to this at any time offline.
