Audio and Video: Streaming and Physical Media

Sources for music, spoken word and video online and in our physical collections, how to search for them and where to listen or view.

Music Sources at and via BU

BU Libraries Search covers all our physical audio collections and most of the contents of online sources, subscription or open access. Refine results to audio/video. Our physical collection includes CDs, tapes, and phonodiscs (primarily LPs).

For additional results and more refined searching, go directly to our streaming audio subscription databases.
