Beethoven and the iPod Nation
This chapter studies the different media forms of music, such as the long-playing record, the CD, and the MP3 file, determining the relevance of encoding the music of classical composers such as Berg, Brahms, Birtwhistle, and Beethoven as numerical data. It looks at the arrival of digital audio and discusses literacy, which is described as human connection with an information system. The chapter furthermore studies the concepts of absolute music, the metatechnologies of musical-aesthetic information, musical canons, and playlists.
