| Abstract | This book is an "A to Z" trade reference aimed at music students, technophiles, and audio-video-computer users. The world of music technology has exploded over the last decades, thanks to introductions of new digital formats (MP3, RealAudio), hardware (Apple iPod, DVD, CD-ROM), and software (computer file sharing). At the same time, there has been a renaissance in analog high fidelity equipment and resurgent interest in turntables, long-playing records, and vintage stereo systems. This book provides brief definitions of key concepts; histories of formats and inventions; coverage of analog and digital media; biographies of key figures; convenient visual indexes; and timelines demonstrating the historical development of the audio world over the 20th century. |
