What was Old Testament music really like?
When the Bible speaks of King David singing with his harp, or of Temple worship, what did it sound like. Probably not so different to today's synagogue cantors, minus the modern instruments and amplifiers. Listen to them here.

Free MP3 Christian music for evangelism challenge and missionary advocacy meetings
These songs are useful for missions or outreach-challenge meeting for Christians – these are not evangelistic songs to speak to not-yet-Christians, they emphasize to Christians the challenge of sharing the gospel. Whatever your personal taste in music, they are probably more likely to communicate to younger generations than certain traditional ‘missionary’ hymns written in the 19th century! They are free to use and distribute if not for profit, eg you can burn them all on to a CD – many modern CD players now handle MP3s.
