Massive Collection of 78s

[phred]

I know there are a few users out there that enjoy listening to the old 78s (Bee-liever are you listening?)

The Boston Public Library just released more than 48,000 sides to the Internet Archive. These can be streamed or downloaded.

Thanks phred 

I was already using some of their 24/96 FLAC files, but I didn't know the entire Boston Public Library collection had been released.
So glad my service provider just bumped up my download limit for free!

Fortunately I don't have a download limit, but my ISP may implement one once they see how much I'm downloading. It's quite an impressive collection. I feel like a little kid in a toy store - I don't know what to grab first.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying this.

Technically mine is unlimited.... until you read the fine print and find there's a cap for peak times and not at others
