Free for Churches

"LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net (podcast and catalog). Our objective is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project."

a nice collection with a variety of music

a large collection of recordings, including music, speech, and otherwise, all available under Creative Commons licensing

(please note that many are "NoDerivs", meaning you cannot use them as part of another work)

an amazing collection of film, sound, music, sheet music, photographs, and writing from U.S. history

a treasure trove!

a moderate-sized, but very nice collection of blues, big band, crooners, and other popular music
