emusic.com has a very nice collection, but I think they're only in the U.S.

Amazon.com has a lot of folk music in the U.S. I don't know about the UK. It's a shame Woven Wheat Whispers shut down, because it was a wonderful folk site in the UK.

Try Smithsonian Folkways . There is a ton of interesting stuff on their website, all available for download.

I use emusic.com here in Hong Kong, so I'd assume it's available in the UK too. Some stuff may be "not available in your country". A downside for that site is that I think you have to subscribe for a monthly package, and they've just all but doubled the per-track price for the package I signed up for.

Hi Jeddy
Don't know where you are but if you're in the UK, try Spotify. If you can put up with a few adverts, it's free and never fails to amaze me with the volume and choice of material!

eMusic is great and available in the UK. The £20 pcm deal is very good value.

Cheers
