Great news everyone!

Following a suggestion by microtherion, Mathieu has implemented a new audio player: The Internet Archive Audio Player!

Example: Performance Amapola by International Novelty Orchestra

Our purpose is to make as many performances available to listen to. We already featured the Youtube and Spotify players, but this additional player will be particularly useful for old 78rpms, of which Internet Archive has... archived quite a bunch.

Here's another example: Billy Boy - Barbara Allen - I Was Born 4000 Years Ago by Frank Luther, Zora Layman, Leonard Stokes [US1] . This song was not available via Youtube or Spotify, but now you can listen to it thanks to the Internet Archive player:

How to submit/add additional Internet Archive Audio clips?

  • If you're a senior editor, via EXTERNAL LINKS
  • If you're an editor but with insufficient access level, submit an ERROR REPORT
  • If you're an not an editor, submit an ERROR REPORT


Nice, but... error reports for missing song clips?

Yes, very nice (and a great source)... And my instant thought was exactly the same.

What do other editors think about this? Should the presence of a Internet Archive player be flagged with a small icon next to performances in perfomance lists? That would mean we'll have 4 reserved spaces for icons: YouTube, Spotify, Internet Arcihve & instrumental.

I imagine this will generate an Edit Review?

Following Mathieu's update, deleting these instructions.

They didn't, but they will now. New Spotify links didn't generate edit reviews either.

First of all, my sympathy goes to this proposal by Oliver One for the simple fact that he made a mock-up Wink . Everyone, this is really a super helpful way of moving things forward.

The proposal is logical because coherent with the Youtube/Spotify approach. But indeed, it does create an additional pressure on the width of our display, which is already crammed, adding an additional column for this icon (when applicable). And contrary to Youtube/Spotify, Internet Archive icons would appear on top of the list (=the old versions), but not after the 50s, after a while it will just be a long blank space until the bottom of the page.

Conclusion: For now, I'm neither super in favour nor against.
