Many Arabic
tapes and cds are available for hire from local libraries
for a small fee. In London you can visit Arab communities
eg Edgware Road, Bayswater, Gloucester Road/Earls Court and
they normally let you listen before you buy. There are also
major stores eg Virgin and EMI that have large World Music
sections that you can browse through. See here for details of stockists
