Can I just give a brief mention to a programme called 'Thomas Edisons Attic'.

WFMU is a music station specialising in music from late 1800's cylinders up to 1930's discs which has now closed down but the programmes are still available online. I don't know how long for.

Sounds terrific coming from any early radio set.

What software did you use to listen .It will not play with Windows Media Player.

As they say, archives are in RealAudio: I'm using RealPlayer, but I seem to recall there are alternatives with better reputations. BTW, WFMU itself hasn't closed down: it's just this particular fortnightly show that has ended. Another vintage recordings programme which used to alternate with it is ongoing: http://wfmu.org/playlists/AP .
