Artist, scholar and curator John Kannenberg marks the 25th anniversary of this event with an online exhibit, \u201cMP3 @ 25: The Anniversary Exhibition\u201d at his Museum of Portable Sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John joins this episode to explain why it\u2019s important to observe this anniversary, and to recount some of the milestones in MP3\u2019s history. From the somewhat apocryphal story of Suzanne Vega\u2019s \u201cTom\u2019s Diner\u201d as the first MP3, to the introduction of the iPod, he helps us understand the role of MP3 in delivering us into the fully digital music universe we now inhabit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also dive into his singular museum, which exists on a single iPhone 4s, with a printed catalog to guide the visitor. Because of COVID-19 John is now available to provide guided online tours of the many sound artifacts that Museum of Portable Sound has in its archives. Either way, it\u2019s about experiencing sound directly and purely, without distraction. (And we are here for the love of Radio and Sound.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Notes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/museumofportablesound.com\/mp3\/\">MP3 @ 25: The Anniversary Exhibition<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/museumofportablesound.com\/\">The Museum of Portable Sound<\/a><\/li><li>Atlas Obscura:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/listen-to-museum-of-portable-sound\">A Loopy Library of Sounds Features Sprinklers, Sirens, and Freud\u2019s Toilet<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rio_(digital_audio_players)\">The Diamond Rio<\/a>&nbsp;was one of the first MP3 players, garnering a lawsuit from the recording industry<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2019\/01\/28\/10-reasons-why-cds-are-still-awesome-especially-for-radio\/\">10 Reasons Why CDs Are Still Awesome (Especially for Radio)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/minidisc.org\/\">Minidisc.org<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2020\/07\/21\/podcast-255-geek-of-the-week-and-the-beginning-of-internet-radio\/\">Podcast #255 \u2013 \u2018Geek of the Week\u2019 and the Beginning of Internet Radio<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2020\/07\/07\/podcast-253-sound-streams-dissecting-the-history-of-internet-radio\/\">Podcast 253 \u2013 Sound Streams: Dissecting the History of Internet Radio<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2018\/11\/13\/podcast-167-alternative-histories-of-podcasting\/\">Podcast #167 \u2013 Alternative Histories of Podcasting<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shortly after its 26th birthday, we revisit this interview celebrating a quarter-century of the MP3.
