Bulk classical MP3 sites?

[BlueBear]

Are there any legal websites that specialize on bulk classical MP3 downloads (other than EMusic) and contain reputable labels like Naxos? I could see myself download 15+ CD's per month and looking for the best value.

What? You don't like Naxos' downloads?

Several record company offer their catalogues for download. You have to pay.

Warner classics have made several recordings available for downloads. I believe it is their intention to make their entire catalogue available, but they have not rached that point yet. Several of the dwonloads are from budget-prized recordings and are quite cheap. So if you already have enough cover-photos with Harnoncourt's or Barenboim's faces all over them, this should be a nice alternative...
