Just like the French to snap defeat from the jaws of victory. Thank you Thomas Edison.

Simply incredible! Thank you sir.

Kind of ironic that it is available to the world via the internet and in an mp3 format.
We take technology for granted.

Wasn’t it an old disk or ceramic jar that someone put a record needle to and found a melodic tonal quality to? I remember seeing something about that in a book or online. I figured if anyone would know it’d be you?

We take technology for granted. We certainly do! Gave me shivers, almost like hearing a ghost.

Whoa...very interesting. BTT.

It’s not a true recording if it took modern computers to decode and play it, is it?

Thanks for this, blam.
A voice recording that dates from five weeks before Lincoln first won the GOP nomination.

These are not words, since you need a computer to read them.

And through the miracle of 148 years of advances since that first recording, we now have...Ludacris.
But I shouldn’t be so cynical. This is pretty cool to hear the very first recorded sound!
To: blam
Yeah, post it to the web.
The RIAA is going to have your ass!

Wasn’t the mp3 format developed in France?

No, it’s a true recording. The representation of the sound waves is recorded onto the medium. Never mind that he couldn’t figure out how to play it back; the recording is there. You can’t play back that which was not recorded.
