The library offers the complete Naxos and Marco Polo catalogues plus the complete catalogues or selected titles from over 650 classical, jazz and world music labels with more labels joining every month. Classic pop and rock music as well as Chinese orchestral music are also represented.

And . . . There's an app for that!

Wait!  Before you do that, you will want to go to NML (or NML Jazz) while on campus or after logging in through the proxy server.
THEN:

• Visit the Playlist section which is on the top menu bar
• Click “Sign Up” on the Student / Member Playlists title bar
• The email address and password you assign also act as your login credentials for the NML mobile apps
• Complete the registration process by clicking the activation link in your email
• Congratulations! You’re now ready to save personal playlists, and enjoy NML everywhere through the Mobile Apps!

Unfortunately, NAXOS Video Library does not have an app…yet.

A vast array of background information is available. Resources include:

• Audio book transcriptions about the history of classical music and opera with listening examples.
• Libretti and synopses of over 700 operas.
• A pronunciation guide for composer and artist names.
• A glossary.
• An overview of important musical terms.
• Work analyses and
• Work details with instrumentation, publishers, duration, work information and available recordings.

Subscribers can also listen to classical music podcasts. A comprehensive online encyclopedia of classical music is in development.

The following instructional videos are available on YouTube

Be sure to log out when you are through!

This is an important courtesy to your fellow users as our subscription only allows ten simultaneous users.

• More mobile accessibility. HTML5 cooperates far better with mobile devices than Flash does. Is a mobile app not yet available for your tablet or smartphone? For most users, this new player will work through your main mobile internet connection—no app needed! Simply log in and access music on your mobile internet browser just as you would on your computer.

• More track information. The HTML5 player displays more information for each track, allowing you to find just the one you need. This is especially helpful when streaming, say, a disc or playlist full of Vivaldi works where half the tracks are simply titled “Allegro.” Now track lists in the player will include the rest of the work title so you can quickly identify which of those Allegros is THE Allegro.
   
• More flexibility in player size. Previously, the player stayed the same size no matter how you expanded the window. Now, the player design adjusts to better fit the size of the window.
