Abstract
This paper explores the economic principles of the recording industry?s profit models. It illustrates the method of selective collusion among the large music corporations. The paper generates more awareness and understanding in the legal ramifications that ensued from the birth of Napster in the free distribution of copyrighted music files through the Internet.
From the Paper
"The article ?When the Music Stops? by Nick Wingfield in the November 2002 issue of the Wall Street Journal, relates an interview with the founder of Napster, Shawn Fanning, after the death of his company at the hands of the recording industry. Not only does it discuss Napster?s creator?s plans and what he thinks is the future of the on-line music industry, it also provides an insight into the economic principles at work in the recording industry. This paper endeavours to explore the economic principles concerning demand models and the practice of selective collusion among the big recording companies which are alluded to in the article, thereby generating more awareness and understanding in the legal ramifications that ensued from the birth of Napster."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) argued that Napster was infringing on copyright and illegally copying, distributing or ?bootlegging?, and downloading the copyrighted products of musicians. The author points out that the problem of pirating copyright material is not new; but the combination of the Napster technology, the Internet, and the ability of individuals to burn their own CDs off the Internet made pirating very easy, with digital sound quality just like the store bought merchandise. The paper relates that Napster, which is now owned by Roxio, Inc., the software inventor of many well-known CD-burning programs, is a subscription-based service that charges 99 cents per downloaded song; other peer-to-peer networks seem still to be striving.
From the Paper
"Napster offered its users the opportunity to access music files held on every other users? hard drive. This, in turn, meant that users could download to their hard drive, and then burn to a Compact Disc (CD) if they so desired, literally hundreds of thousands of pieces of music. This threatened the producers of music (the musicians) and the copyright holders, the media companies, such as AOL Time Warner, Vivendi Universal, EMI and others. The revenue they generate by selling Compact Discs and tapes was threatened because Napster users could now obtain music and compile a music library without actually purchasing product from the companies themselves."

Abstract
This paper explains that, despite the enthusiastic participation of some recording artists such as the Dave Matthews Band and Courtney Love, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has brutally attacked file sharing programs, such as Napster, which allow the downloading of music from the Internet, by arguing that the availability of music on the Internet is destroying record sales. The author points out that the industry's use of "fake files," which attempted to halt Internet music downloading, was an almost laughable endeavor, but intentionally damaging a consumer's computer was not so humorous. The paper relates that, in 1999, a law was passed, which declared that recorded music was the property of the company that recorded the music, not the artist; this outraged many artists.
From the Paper
"The Dave Matthews Band broke ground by releasing the first single from their 2001 album "Everyday" through the now defunct file-sharing program Napster. Napster, an Internet based file-sharing program, gave its users the ability to search for and download music (in MP3 format) to their computers by directly tapping into another user's computer. The program gained popularity rapidly, with millions of users at its peak in 2000 and 2001. When the Dave Matthews Band premiered "I Did It" through Napster, the album debuted at number one, and generated the highest first-week sales the band had experienced thus far."

Recording: "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1", 2008.

Abstract
This paper presents a report on the CD recording, "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1". The paper describes the performer of the lute on the recording, how the tracks on the CD are setup, the degree of authenticity of the music and what the writer has learned from listening to the CD.
From the Paper
"Because my previous exposure to early music before this class was non-existent and that the only early music I have heard in class is mostly chant, this recording is very refreshing and brings a new perspective on early music to me. By using the lute, this recording deepened my understanding of early music by integrating a group of familiar instruments into a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with. Through the instrumentation and performance of the lute, I now understand that chant was not the only genre of early music."

Abstract
This paper explains that the CD recording "The Lily and the Lamb: Chant and Polyphony from Medieval England" by Anonymous 4, an all female quartet that specializes in medieval music is an excellent example of this period's chant and polyphony music. The author points out that the recording is composed of eighteen tracks that are divided up into six different types of songs: one antiphon, five conductuses, two hymns, two motets, one processional hymn and seven sequences. The paper concludes that this recording is helpful in learning about sacred medieval music.
From the Paper
"A sequence is a category of Medieval Latin chant and is also known as prose. It is part of the liturgy and comes after the Alleluia. It usually begins with an introductory phrase of the form "aa." Then phrases are paired together until the concluding phrase "n." The total form of a sequence usually written as: "aabbccddeeff...n." There are seven sequences in this recording and they range in length from a little over a minute to over eight minutes long. While listening to the sequences in this recording, I noticed that they all seemed to follow the same pattern with the voices."

Digital Recording, 1991.
This paper discusses digital recording, with a focus on digital audio tape (DAT) recorders: History and development, theory and technology, quality, playback, encoding and compact discs.

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the concept of digital recording, with a focus on digital audio tape (DAT) recorders. The methods of digital recording sharply contrast those of analog recording which preceded them. Analog recording is based on the concept of capturing the shapes of sound waves as they vibrate in the air. In an analog recording, sound is "stored as a physical representation of the original soundform". An example of this can be seen in the squiggly lines which form the grooves on a phonograph record. With digital recording, on the other hand, computer technology is used to convert analog waveforms into numerical, or digital, data. In a compact disc (CD) player, this data is read by means of a laser; in a DAT player, it is read by means of a rotary tape head. Because digital recording uses numerical data instead of physical ...

Recording Technology, 2004.
A discussion on how developments in music recording technology have affected the way in which music is produced.
2,547 words (approx. 10.2 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 77.95

Abstract
This paper examines how the evolution of popular music over the last century has undoubtedly been heavily influenced by the constant development in recording technologies. It looks at how the huge variety of options available to producers and engineers nowadays are almost boundless and how virtually any radical new idea conjured up in the studio can be implemented in one of several ways. It shows how the changing way in which music is produced can be analysed by looking at several contrasting recordings, produced at suitable milestones in record production history.
From the Paper
"The audio quality of the record is somewhat poorer than more modern reel-to-reel tape recordings. This is primarily due to the non-existence of any noise reduction technology, but also because of the lack of attention paid to the rest of the signal chain, other than the microphones and the tape machine itself. The high proportion of background electrical noise and hiss was mostly created (and then further amplified at the output) in unbalanced, un-screened cabling runs, and poorly earthed equipment. More modern tape machines like those used at Electric Lady Studios by Stevie Wonder, would have been properly biased to balance unwanted distortion and noise, with high frequency fidelity."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and describes a CD recording performed by The Tallis Scholars and directed by Peter Phillips entitled, "Christmas Carols and Motets". The paper describes the sections that the CD has been divided into and explains how the CD has furthered his understanding of early Western music.
From the Paper
"In the renaissance motets section, there are four settings of Ave Maria: for four voices by Josquin des Pres, for seven voices by Philippe Verdelot, for four voices by Victoria, and for double choir by Victoria. From Grove Music Online it states that, "One of the most important forms of polyphonic music from about 1220 to 1750. No single set of characteristics serves to define it generally, except in particular historical or regional contexts. It originated as a liturgical trope but soon developed into the pre-eminent form of secular art music during the late Middle Ages."

Recording: "Consort Music for Viols", 2008.
Reviews the CD recording "Consort Music for Viols in Six Parts" based on consort music by John Jenkins from the 15th century, performed by Hesperion XX.

Abstract
This paper explains that John Jenkins" Consort Music for Viols in Six Parts", performed by Hesperion XX, was composed for a small six part ensemble of instruments in the viol family. The author points out that Hersperion XX, an early music ensemble group formed in 1974 in Switzerland, was directed by Jordi Savall, a famous conductor and viol player. The paper relates that the composer John Jenkins (1592-1678), lived his life in England, is most well known for his consort music for viols. The paper concludes that, since this recording sounds like a piece that would be composed in the 21st century, the author believes that it is not very authentic.
From the Paper
"One of the recurring themes throughout the recording is the presence of the bass and contrabass. These instruments are very prominent and can be easily heard throughout the recording because they are given distinct parts that allow the listener to discern their presence very well. Also, the tempo of the recordings seems to be very slow and methodical. This methodical tempo is made especially clear through the presence of the bass and contrabass. These instruments make the music's tempo feel like a man wading through a very thick mud bog."

Abstract
This paper discusses the global music recording industry (MRI). According to the paper, the industry is massive and deeply entrenched, making it one of the most culturally powerful but fractured industries in existence. The MRI, while being concentrated around just a few large entertainment conglomerates, is fractured in the sense that it is currently undergoing a sea change that has yet to fully play out. Globally the MRI is worth in excess of $40 billion annually and the United States' (US) percentage of this revenue stream is approximately 13-14% (Research pars.1-3). The paper further discusses how the various constituents of this industry include singers, musicians, producers, sound engineers, promoters, retail operators, advertisers, and a host of others.

From the Paper
"In Rijnberk and de Vries' Medical History and Physical Examination in Companion Animals, there is a limited section specifically on veterinary medical record writing which describes the function of veterinary medical records, how to determine the content of veterinary medical records, and how to write clear, complete, and accessible veterinary medical record entries. The most beneficial aspect of this text, however, is the information presented in subsequent chapters, which describes physical examinations of companion animals. Listed under sections called "notable findings," the authors have described how to perform physical exams on numerous animals for various medical complaints. Then the authors describe, in terms of appropriate tone, style, and terminology, what types of entries should be made in the veterinary medical record for that particular type of examination."

Abstract
The Latin American recording industry has always been a unique industry that blends economics, entertainment, and culture. The majority of its entertainers depict the variety of ethnicity that is part of Latin American culture. This paper investigates the Latin American recording industry, the genres of music and hybrid styles, and the role label companies play in producing and managing the artists. It also looks at how music interacts culturally, politically, and economically, affecting social identity Research in this paper shows that there is a complex relationship between the industry itself and the development of pan-Latin identities, as well as a more intricate relationship between economics and culture. In addition, the research demonstrates that the Latin American recording industry is a powerful medium for creating images among consumers, which impacts the desire to be like their idol. Finally, this paper summarizes the potential changes created by a new business model for the Latin American recording industry.
From the Paper
"Aside from the confusion between Latin American and Latino music, the U.S. Latino market is undergoing a crucial transformation, perhaps more in taking stock of reality than in reality itself. It is no secret that U.S.Latino music has largely meant the kind of pop associated with Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and the like, or with so-called tropical music (salsa and kindred genres). New York and Miami are the capitals of this kind of pop and tropical, but when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) ?the music industry's trade organization ? began dividing Latin music sales by genre in 2000, they discovered the overwhelming sales dominance of the Mexican regional market, which is based in California and the Southwest, particularly Texas, and generates 60 percent of the US$640 million market for Latin music sales."
