10,000 wax cylinders digititzed and free to download

Andy Volk · From: Boston, MA

The University of California at Santa Barbara library has undertaken an heroic digitization effort for its world-class archive of 19th and early 20th century wax cylinder recordings, and has placed over 10,000 songs online for anyone to download, stream and re-use.

The archive seems to contain not only music from cylinders, but also from 78 RPM discs. Smile

Hard to believe that cylinders and records once seemed as revolutionary as computers and cell phones are today. Cool

Bill Hatcher · From: Atlanta Ga. USA

interesting!

Wayne Carver · From: Martinez, Georgia, USA

Those are cool, how do you download one to your pc? In the past I remember right clicking on the file and "save target as" and select where to put it.

OK, I went back and see there is a "download" button when you select a song to play.

Wow! A blast of music and stories from the past.

I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus!

That is awesome! Im sure that was quite a task especially working with the old cylinder recordings due to how fragile they can be.
