All of them are streaming (but not downloadable) music collections. They are searchable and browsable by genre, album, artist, and more.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Noel Coward, Classical Music Library
You can listen to one track at a time or entire albums, and with an optional login to save your work you can create playlists. Songs, albums, and playlists can have Stable URLs created so that you can send your favorites to other people with access to the database.
900 Miles, Woodie Guthrie, Smithsonian Global Sound
I have found some real gems just browsing through the collections! There's some great roots music from all over the world, early recordings by my favorite artists, and legendary songs that I somehow had never gotten around to hearing. I've been rocking out to it while writing this post!
Acapulco Rock, Freddie Fender, Music Online
Another option for downloadable music is Overdrive Music, where you download an entire album just like you download the Overdrive Audiobooks. I'm hoping to try that out, soon!
UPDATE: the links to songs should work just fine now...
