"The amount of economic harm that the publishers are presently suffering as a result of the IA has not only never been quantified, it has not even been roughly attempted to be quantified." From "Barbarians at the Gates: How the Internet Archive is putting publishers to shame" by Howard Burton for Ideas Roadshow https://ideasroadshow.com/barbarians-at-the-gates/ Why is it important to preserve 78rpm recordings? As audio preservation expert George Blood explains, "78rpm discs were the way we learned about each other and entertained the world." https://blog.archive.org/2024/08/26/vanishing-culture-on-78s/ #VanishingCulture

  @internetarchive 78's had been replaced with 33 LPs when I was a kid, but 78s were still common. In the classical and jazz worlds, it seemed that the artists who recorded on 78s had more imagination and spirit than those who later recorded on 33's - the 78 performances were often far, far better than the 33 performances of the same piece. As an example compare the energetic, jazzy, Stowkowski 78 performance of "The Plow That Broke the Plains" with the pathetic 33 version done by Mariner. @internetarchive Thank you for everything you do! A couple of years ago I found a new favorite on your site - it was an old record from the 1920s recorded in Cuba. I never wouldβve discovered it had your organization not preserved it New spot on archiving the MTV News web site from NPR-affiliate KJZZ in Phoenix: https://www.kjzz.org/kjzz-news/2024-08-15/hundreds-of-thousands-of-articles-from-mtv-news-were-taken-offline-the-wayback-machine-has-archived-them "We work diligently to archive large swaths of the public web. In particular, with regard to the MTV News site, we have been archiving that probably since its inception." - Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine Now at the archive: FORMAT CHANGES - airchecks of radio stations signing off forever, switching formats, or starting their new lives as a new call-sign. @textfiles Now I really need to repair my cassette tapedeck and find my tapes. Some of the most creative FM radio occurs. Most recently was the Canadian station that played Rage Against The Machine, over and over and over and over. Even over their stream. It was glorious.
