Originally opening as the Classical MIDI Archives in 1994 primarily as a repository for free MIDI sequences of classical music works, in August 2000 the site incorporated as Classical Archives, LLC, and has since been also offering commercial label recordings for both streaming and downloading. Non-members can stream 60-second samples from any track on the Classical Archives.  For a monthly fee of $7.99 (or $87.89 a year) members are able to stream any track, work, or album in its entirety from the site’s catalogue, and receive a discount of 10% on the price of downloads.[1] Both members and non-members can access detailed musicological information for each work: movements, genre, principal instruments, year of composition, and key. Additionally, nearly every composer’s biography is provided.[2] Free streaming radio is available for computers and mobile devices that also includes a device to close the connection in one hour, if desired.[3]Classical Archives uses a proprietary system (called the Contextual Metadata Engine) that allows for the ingestion and cataloguing of all recordings based on musicologically accurate and uniform metadata.  Because of the Contextual Metadata Engine, visitors can search and cross-reference by various relevant criteria: composer, work title, artist, albums, historical period, instrument, and genre, in order to find and compare different recordings.[4]Classical Archives was founded by CEO Pierre R. Schwob. The cataloguing of the Classical Archives database is carried out by a team of musicologists led by Chief Musicologist and Artistic Director Dr. Nolan Gasser.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsFile types[edit]Database[edit]Other site features[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]File types[edit]The site provides 320kbit\/s MP3 files for downloads and 160 kbit\/s AAC files for streaming.
