[ARSCLIST] Great article on Vintage Music On line in today's WSJ

[Steve Ramm <Stevramm@xxxxxxx>]

There is a SUPER article in today's Wall Street Journal on Vintage  Music 
files on line. I knew about most but the Juneberry site and the  Internet Archive 
were new to me.
 
They are all MP3 files which you can play on line or download to your  PC or 
MP3 player. Here's the short article in it's entirely!
 
I'm posting to a number of places so sorry if you see it again.
