At first blush, it looks like a treasure trove. It appears that no one is vetting any of the songs to feature the better ones for you (as it seems that Classic-music.com, Alexander Street, Naxos, YourClassical, and others do), so the site is better for those who know what they're looking for. Personally, I'm not at that stage, yet.

However, when I first started perusing the site, specifically when I clicked to listen to one for the first time, I got a pop-up box which basically said that the songs may not be in the public domain in your country, check with your lawyer, etc. I tried to highlight that, so that I could paste it in this message, but cut-and-paste wouldn't work for it. I was in the process of doing a screen shot of the box by itself, but the box disappeared, and I haven't been able to get it to come up again. Maybe that was mainly for CYA purposes anyway.
I hope that there are going to be some pieces with higher-quality sound than MP3 provides, for the benefit of you hardcore audiophiles, but all that I saw in my limited investigation were MP3's. I tried to find a way to filter the MP3's out and see what was left, but I couldn't find a way, in the limited time that I spent.
Looks like a great find, tube guy!
