Wow - thank you! I never heard of this series, so it's really a discovery. Must have taken you weeks. The meta-data alone was a large task. One note - I downloaded the full set zip. After extraction on my office Windows 7 machine, the file/folder names were green, meaning they were encrypted. They opened, but when I tried to copy the music folder to my studio W7 computer, it wouldn't copy. Clearing the Encrypt contents to secure data attribute from the folder's Advanced Attributes dialog fixed it. There was an error on one file during extraction, but I don't remember which one. It might not matter, as nothing seems to be missing or of the wrong size. It will be a while before I can play them all. :) Again, thank you! -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mason Vander Lugt Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 9:51 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Folk Music in America Partially in observance of the coming holiday, mostly because I love music and get a kick out of sharing, I scanned and blogged the 1976 Library of Congress / Dick Spottswood LP series "Folk Music in America". If you're unfamiliar, it's a 15 LP series of recordings and booklets documenting the folk song and dance of pretty much any culture that can be considered American (US, that is) between 1890 and 1976. It's a truly remarkable set, and has never been available in digital form (as far as I know) until now. You can download the full set here - https://s3.amazonaws.com/DinosaurDiscs/Folk+Music+In+America.zip Or download individual volumes and read my notes about it here - http://blog.dinosaurdiscs.com/post/54340976113/folk-music-in-america Please excuse me if this is "blogspam", but I know Dick is a long-time ARSC member and thought many of you would appreciate it.
