Wealth of Info: Internet Archive Site

While I was looking for music, I ran into a site that was jam-packed with great material: The Internet Archive.

http://www.archive.org/index.php

This site has downloadble images, moving images, music, text, and more!  You can watch vintage movies,  television,  newsreels,  classic cartoons, pro- and anti-war films, and amateur and home movie collections. You can listen to vintage radio programs, classic music and musicians.  The texts collection includes digitized books from libraries around the world as well as many special collections.  The amount of material is overwhelming.

You can also use the “Wayback Machine” to see see archived versions of web pages across time.  Very interesting.

Here are a few:

Oddio Overplay has all sorts of music that is free and downloadable.   It is a little hard to search, but what a wealth of material.   http://www.oddiooverplay.com/

Amazon actually has free mp3 files, too.
