I love this stuff.
Recently I was browsing around UC Santa Barbara's web site looking for podcasts or other audio. I found out that the university library has a special collection of wax cylinders that were recorded at the beginning of the 20th century (around 1908). They have produced mp3s of many of them that you can down load and listen to. They do have an RSS feed that lets you know when new things arrive. Sadly, the feed doesn't contain the enclosures.
They have a section of historical speeches that I found cool.
Have a listen to this recording. It is actually an advertisement telling you all about the wonderful features of Edison's phonograph. Advertising Record
Cracks me up how it is first person. Imagine your mp3 player talking to you like that?
