A slighty new implementation of podcasting/mp3 delivery here. Signing up is quite easy and free, and once you're in, you select the MP3s you're interested in, and then add them to your "Mediabox".
This gives you a list of tunes which can then be downloaded quite simply via iTunes, like a podcast, or downloaded direct.
Worth a look if only for some original live classical material, which is of a pretty high standard.
The only downside is the adverts which are put in a little too often. No different to radio then....

Thanks for the comments - glad you liked the site. The way the adverts are inserted is something on which we're working quite hard right now. At the moment it's a little bit basic, but the idea is to tune and personalise them to the point where they are both interesting to you and as unobtrusive as possible. Naturally this will also vary with different types of music, and at the moment it is not particularly well adapted to the structures of classical pieces. At the end of the day we also need to make sure that the artists get reasonable compensation as well, so it's all a fine balancing act!
