Playback From the Victrola to MP3, 100 Years

Suddnely, popular music resembles an alien landscape. The great common ground of 45s, LPs, and even compact discs is being replaced by binary bits of sound. Today the generations divide over how they listen to the music, not necessarily what kinds of music they listen to.

Mark Coleman is a journalist who has written for Rolling Stone, Details, New York Newsday, the Village Voice, and Mojo, among others. He was a contributor to The Rolling Stone Album Guide and lives in New York City.
