It Seems Broken Records Aren’t As Broken As They Used To Be
By Frey | July 17, 2007
Did anyone catch National Public Radio yesterday? If so, you’d have been amazed. A friend forwarded the link to me, since I didn’t get to hear it, but I’m still very happy to hear about this new technology.
Not to take any of the steam out of the read, but someone has made a camera and software combination that takes pictures of old records - even broken ones - and is able to play them back without the needles. This is great news, especially for the Library of Congress and collectors, since a good many of these old records are so fragile, using a needle would destroy them…
(And YES, in a way this does have something to do with film making - music made before 1922 is pretty much copyright free - so it’s free to use in your film. And that means no paying royalties!).
