You bet! University Libraries offers unlimited commercial-free listening for DU students, staff, and faculty with a variety of streaming music services, encompassing every listening taste and preference. You will find your favorites, and also discover plenty of alternative sounds that never make the charts. You will also find interesting background information on the genres and artists you listen to. Each service is searchable by composer, artist, title, or keyword, or can be easily browsed by category. Playlist creation is easy and quick, and you can share sounds with social tools like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, or email. Streams are delivered directly to your computer or mobile device. You can access all of them from off-campus, simply authenticating with your DU number and passcode when prompted. On campus, authentication is automatic.
