When presented with a wholly new medium to experiment with–in this case, the wonderful miniscule phonograph player known as an iPod–what better than to thrust the most ancient form of the medium upon it? The fine folks at WFMU have long made available dusty cylinder and disk recordings over the air with The Antique Phonograph Music Program and Thomas Edison’s Attic. Now that the WFMU cadre have expanded into the realm of so-called “ipodding”, you can pull these very rare recordings down to your very own microphonograph–er, iPod–and enjoy them at your whim.
