When it comes to researching music, nothing beats listening to the real thing. NYU Libraries has several streaming audio databases to help you find high-quality sound recordings from world-class performers, along with detailed liner notes that you might not find through services such as Youtube or Youku.

Naxos Music Library and Naxos Jazz Music Library are rich resources for sound recordings that you can stream directly from your computer.

On the go? Take Naxos with you with the Naxos or Naxos Jazz mobile apps, available through iTunes and Google Play.
