This group of artifacts challenges our notion of what "portable music" has meant, from the early 20th-century to present day. Some objects may seem familiar--some may seem laughably large to be considered "portable" today. An evolution of listening styles is also present: from the open channels of radio for news and top-40 music--to formats like the LP and MP3 that allowed people to take control of their listening experience, minus the DJ.
