Music Online: Popular Music Library<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Music<\/p>\n

Music Online – Popular Music Library<\/a> features audio recordings of popular music from around the world.<\/p>\n

Here is what student manager Cole (class of 2021) had to say about this resource: <\/p>\n

“Music Online\u2019s Popular Music Library<\/a> is exactly what it sounds like: an online repository of popular music from around the world, all tagged with the appropriate metadata<\/a> to make the site an effective research tool. Something I appreciate about Music Online\u2019s collection<\/a> is the emphasis placed on international works. The site is filled with recordings of songs I have never been exposed to, across all genres and in various languages. Many of the works archived are not available for sale online, so the site can be a valuable resource if one is looking for an obscure, elusive track. <\/p>\n

When I first opened Popular Music Library<\/a>, I was immediately greeted by the album Babies Go Pink Floyd<\/a><\/em>, one of the works featured on the rotating carousel of new arrivals. <\/p>\n

\"Babies<\/p>\n

I immediately clicked on it to find out what exactly I was seeing. Each album is displayed as a waveform, with vertical lines separating individual tracks. The music player is accompanied by a sidebar of details and the track listing, with each track accompanied by the appropriate metadata. After some listening and further digging on the site, I learned that Babies Go …<\/a><\/em> is a series of albums, originally sold in the UK, that rework popular music acts into soothing lullabies. Some of my favorite editions include: Babies Go The Cure<\/a><\/em>, Babies Go Led Zeppelin<\/a><\/em>, Babies Go Shakira<\/a><\/em>, and, of course, Babies Go Radiohead<\/a><\/em>, the music player for which, in an apparent (and humorous) technical oversight, presents a flat line and reads, \u201cWaveform temporarily unavailable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Babies Go \u2026<\/em> probably won\u2019t be often used as research material, I like to imagine it as a testament to the diversity of material collected for your listening in the Popular Music Library<\/a>.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
