If you are looking to understand Carnatic, Hindustani, Gamelan or Middle Eastern music there is a site that will be of the greatest help to you. It is www.medieval.org. At first glance this site seems super-super bare, with nothing but text. There is absolutely no graphics on this site but don't underestimate this site because its content can introduce you to Asian classical music tradition like no other. It has links to enriching articles written by it's author Todd. M. McComb and its links to a huge database of lyrics and other information students of these traditions can find very helpful. There are no links to sound bites or video, but to get these just search on Youtube, but there few sites that will give you theory and music text as easily as this one. The site also links to CD's recommended by the author that can be purchased on Amazon.com and other sites. Needless to say the site loads in a flash!
