Internet Archive archives more than 50000 record online

A very fruitful collaboration between New York’s ARCive of Contemporary Music and The Internet Archive has saved tons of old music on the Internet for everyone to listen to on the Archive website with improved quality that may be even better of those in the Spotify lists to be the output of storing over fifty thousand rare music records on the Internet.

Spotify reaches 60 million paid subscribers

This is part of the Great 78 project, a community-based archival and research project.

The number is only part of the basic plan, which includes 200,000 music tracks that’s being processed at the time of your reading.

These pieces are not regular pieces of Vinyl discs, which are made of blood, chocolate, bone and other strange materials.

The aim of this project, other than saving these clips is to preserve them primarily with high quality after removing the noise from them by polishing the Vinyl surfaces.

The process is as in the picture at the top of the story by recording with four different pieces of recorders for each section to record separately and then get the best possible result by grouping and adjusting them together.

Through the site you can search for the section you want to listen to by searching for the name of the author, the person who recorded the clip or the year of recording, as well as many other classifications to navigate a long journey between music tracks passed dozens of years.
