My local library only just recently phased out CDs and started pushing Freegal. Now (in my case, at least) streaming is unlimited and downloads are capped to three per week. but there is an incredible amount of different tiki-related music available. Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Les Baxter are there, but so are Robert Drasnin and a ton of Hawaiian releases from the 60s and 70s.

One of the best features is the advanced search by label, so you can find things by Mahalo Records (or even more recent stuff from Hi-Tide Recordings).

I've been listening to Quiet Village Radio and searching for featured artists and albums with surprisingly good results.
