Putting digital music files online is cost-effective, wide-reaching, and instantaneous, and museums and archives are under increasing pressure to open their collections for online access. Proponents of the "Long Tail" theory purport that these specialized, niche collections can collectively make up a market share that rivals commercial music. But what is the reality? Hear from leading experts in the digital music business and music museums debate the opportunities and challenges in working with online music, from issues of digitizing to rights to cataloguing. How do digital music distributors acquire recordings and collections and how do they present them in an increasingly crowded marketplace? What is the future of online music stores regarding video, images, and other field research and educational materials? How can ethnomusicologists and archivists play a role in this new marketplace? 00:75:00 Kevin Arnold, Bill Ivey, Tim Lloyd, Amy Schriefer, Tony Seeger, Dan Sheehy The digital music boom has great promises of increased access to rare and hard to find ethnographic recordings and new revenue streams for archival and museum collections.
