When viewing music on the Internet Archive, look for the "VBR ZIP" link on the left side of the page. It's a single .zip file that contains the entire live music presentation as variable bit rate MP3 files. Download, unzip, and you've got the entire show.

Here's something really cool from the Internet Archive, Geroge Gershwin playing Rhapsody in Blue (side 1, side 2), recorded in 1924 at Thomas Edison's studio in Meno Park, N.J.

When I buy music, I buy it from Amazon. There's no DRM involved, no limits, Just music.

 

You may already know about the Internet Archive because of the Wayback Machine. Well, Sherman, the Wayback Machine contains an online history of the World Wide Web. Using it, you can find stuff that's disappeared from current websites (and websites themselves that have disappeared). That's only a small part of the archive.
