With Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph, the beautiful
music that was the preserve of the wealthy became a mass-produced
consumer good, cheap enough to be available to all. In 1877 Edison
dreamed that one day there would be a talking machine in every
home. America on Record: A History of Recorded Sound, first
published in 2006, provides a history of sound recording from the
first thin sheet of tinfoil that was manipulated into retaining
sound to the home recordings of rappers in the 1980s and the
high-tech studios of the 1990s. This book examines the important
technical developments of acoustic, electric, and digital sound
reproduction while outlining the cultural impact of recorded music
and movies. This second edition updates the story, describing the
digital revolution of sound recording with the rise of computers,
Napster, DVD, MP3, and iPod.
