Websites:

Recitation coranique
This is a French-language website that has many good recitations, both live and studio recordings. Pretty easy to navigate since the names of people and surahs are all transliterated from Arabic anyway.

Abdalbasit.com
Haven’t used this site myself, but it looks loaded.

QuranReciters.com
This page in particular has many good recitations from Shaykh Mustafa Ismail. The key to finding a good quality Mustafa Ismail recording is to look at the dates … if it’s very recent (1970’s), the audio quality will be better b/c of better technology, but the Shaykh would have been older. In older recordings (early 50’s … and there are a few from late 40’s if you look hard enough) his voice would be a lot more youthful, but the recording quality is generally terrible. Best bet is to look for recordings from the late 50’s to early 60’s.

QuranArchive.org
This is a new site I stumbled across, but they have an amazing amount of recitations … tons of Sh. Minshawi recordings, Sh. Rif’at, and so on.

May Allah bless all those who maintain these websites.
