WEST ORANGE, NJ – Thomas Edison National Historical Park (TENHP) announces the release of 2,400 historic Edison disc sound recordings, digitized and made available online in cooperation with the University of California, Santa Barbara Library Special Research Collections on their Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR) website at adp.library.ucsb.edu. The recordings from TENHP include many rarities, including unissued test pressings...

Thank you for sharing this historical information.

Well, I guess the game is up now. Dump those Edison diamond disc players before people find out they can stream everything and the market for machines disappears!

Oh, wait, it's already disappeared...

This is a good resource to have. I would add that the transcription used provides a monaural sound whereas a stereo source with separate L and R does provide some additional noise reduction value.
My Handbook explains the details.

By the way, my Podcast numbers have dropped off and I will most likely pause it soon.
