The Internet Archive has made available an audio archive with, as of December, 2008, over 313,000 audio files. You may not find top twenty hits available, and the sound quality may not always be pristine, especially for live recordings. However, a lot of interesting songs and other items can be found for your digital audio player or iPod, such as:

* Audio Books - A Journey to the Center of the Earth, A Modest Proposal, and Dracula

* Grateful Dead Collection - Live recordings from Red Rocks, Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, and The Spectrum

* Live Music - Artists such as Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Blues Traveler, Bonerama, and The Decemberists

* Radio Programs - An Evening with Groucho, Dragnet, and Gunsmoke

Some audio files are stream-only; others may be in Ogg Vorbis or MP3 format.
