Hi David,
Fantastik site! But I'm having a problem getting the audio option to
show up on the page after clicking on a specific title. The few times a
play bar has appeared, under the record date, it hasn't worked. The
featured cylinder play bars and live streams seem to be working fine but
the searchable audio options aren't showing up. Any ideas?

The Special Collections Dept. at the University of California, Santa
Barbara is making a new online digital collection available featuring
the library's collection of cylinder recordings from the mid 1890s to
the mid 1920s. The site is available at
http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/.
During a two-year project funded in part by the Institute of Museum
and
Library Services (IMLS) library staff have cataloged and digitized
over
5,000 of the cylinder recordings in the library's collection. The
searchable site features downloadable audio files as well as streaming
versions of the recordings. Streaming and downloadable mp3 files have
been de-noised with CEDAR and are licensed for under a Creative
Commons
license while a raw wave file is also available for the more
adventurous
and is freely distributable. The site also has a growing collection of
"streaming radio" programs on various topics and a "featured cylinder"
section, showcasing some of the most interesting items in the
collection.
The collection includes nearly all types of recordings made around the
turn of the 20th century including popular song, vaudeville,
minstrelsy,
comedic monologues, classical and operatic, solo instrumental
recordings, bands, foreign and ethnic recordings, and speeches. More
cylinders will continue to be added to the collection as they are
acquired, cataloged and digitized.
Please enjoy, pass the word along, and let me know if you have any
comments or suggestions.
