Chalk most of it up to the timeless &#8220;Old Man&#8221; &#8211; Neil Young. At a recent News Corp media conference, Young described in some detail about his recent dealings with Apple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Physicist Glenn Elert has included a nice exposition on the mathematical basis of music in his online physics text (click here). Glenn keeps the tech description at a &#8220;Popular Science&#8221; level for much of it, but descends to undergrad-college-level in parts. So there&#8217;s something for everyone. (nice illustrations too.) If you think about the content, [...]]]></description>

In the story, the career of a concert pianist is ended in its prime with sudden onslaught of a debilitating disease.

Among the good news is that “digital retailers are getting better and better at giving customers what they want” says Nielsen. So much for downloads killing the industry. People love music and will pay for it under reasonable [...]]]></description>

The article describes research in which professional musicians could not tell the difference between a centuries-old classic violin and one minted in 1980.
