download Indian music?

Does any know a website from where you can download Indian music? Preferably not only Hindi pop, but also classical music or folk music? And is it true that on the indiamike download site, the audio files category is empty? Or do I make a mistake?

I am ESPECIALLY interested in Rajasthani traditional music.

thanks! Mirjam

there's a whole binary newsgroup dedicated to indian music and bollywood music (mp3's to download) on usenet, also on irc there are a couple of #channels who serve complete bollywood movies and music

to access usenet you need a binary newsgroup reader, search on tucows

ask your local isp what the adress to his news server is, otherwise get an account at www.newsfeed.com (for example, lots of provider's out there like that)

for irc you need an irc client, but this is a lil difficult if you never used it

geef maar een gil als je meer hulp nodig heb.

You'd observe that most of the freely downloadable Indian songs are of "Bhangra" genre which essentially translates to "Punjabi" music. This is due to major Punjabi diaspora to Europe and North America combined with relatively easier fusion of Bhangra beats with Hip Hop.

Some of the popular links are:

http://www.bollywoodmusic.com/
http://www.indiaradio.com/
http://www.apnaradio.com/

Indian Classical:
http://www.dovesong.com/MP3/MP3_India_dhrupad.asp

I'd also suggest going to http://www.live365.com and searching for "Bollywood", "Bhangra", "Indian Classical", "Indian Devotional" or keywords of your liking and you'd find several live Indian radio channels, the most popular being WCNJ running live, 24 hours from NJ (mostly Bollywood music)
