Highest rate of turnover of talent and content. Recording industry is the oldest of the electronic media. Rst disks could only play a couple of minutes of music. Live music over the radio (better sound + after the initial purchase = free music) Jukeboxes were used in bars and clubs. Big bands and swing became popular and greatly increased sales of re- cords. Vinyl long-play (lp) album (45 minutes of music) Recording industry is based on popular music. Phonograph record became the primary content of radio (free exposure of the recording industry"s product to a huge, af uent young audience of po- tential buyers) Instead of the previous competition between the radio and recording in- dustries, a synergy developed. Rock n roll burst on the scene and the music business boomed. Compact disk (cd), the rst conveyor of digitally recorded songs. Birth of mtv and other music video stations on television. Videos became more effective than touring for selling records.
