Digital music has swept over the globe in the last 10 years like a monstrous binary tidal wave. It’s everywhere – on your computer, phone, iPod, your wrist watch (soon), used by the radio stations you listen to, in the films you watch, and of course, on a ka-jillion (technical term) websites online. Now let’s take a quick step back, and think about this… less than 100 years ago we couldn’t even record music for mass consumption. Now, it’s 1s and 0s, available all across our great Blue Marble. The speed of this evolution has been insane, really.
This begs the questions…
How has recorded music come this far?
When did the transition from analog to digital occur?
Where is the cover art, track, and artist name for some of my digital music files?
Why has vinyl sprung back in recent years, in the wake of this digital ubiquity?
What is your favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream?
Well, we can’t answer that last one for you, but we have the cheat sheet on the rest. Check out the graphic below for fun facts about the music transformation, and learn how to get the most from your collection in the digital age.

I’m loving the chart. Vinyl is making somewhat of a comeback!
I love this! I learned a lot from it also.
An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was performing a bit analysis on this. And he in fact purchased me breakfast given that I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading far more on this topic. If achievable, as you develop into expertise, would you mind updating your blog with a lot more details? It can be highly useful for me. Massive thumb up for this weblog post!
