Have WOMAD and REAL produced any albums lately? I used to buy all their CDs and they were great for bringing world music to North America, but nowadays I use iTunes to purchase music.

You are listening to the wrong stations; I hear all kinds of Arabic here and at WUSC. I have not seen a trend like that at all.
