Abstract There is more to sound recording than just recording sound. Far from being simply a tool for the preservation of music, the technology is a catalyst. This award-winning text provides a wide-ranging, deeply informative, consistently entertaining history of recording's profound impact on the musical life of the past century, from Edison to the Internet.
