If you are a classical music aficionado, you know that Naxos is a record company that makes very fine recordings using lesser known orchestras for a bargain price. They also produce a premium label (Marco Polo). If you have a decent Internet connection, you can subscribe to www.naxosradio.com for a mere $10 a year (that's less than 3 cents a day). What you get is 60 channels of music ranging from Gregorian chants to modern music and just about everything in between. Of course, if you like the recording (the screen displays the album cover) you can go and buy the CD for about $6. While it is true that there IS a finite amount of music sold by Naxos' company, you'd be hard pressed to listen to their entire collection of offerings. I'm listening to a fine recording of Borodin and just finished some Scarlatti. Jeffery
