This article analyzes some of the most important changes in the perception of sound recordings that result from playing them at incorrect playback speeds. The playback of old 78 rpm phonograph records is highlighted because this rotation speed was standardized relatively late and various other speeds were used during the recording process. These are generally not documented and must therefore be evaluated using other sources.

Until recently, the recordings of Slovenian music made in Ljubljana by the gramophone companies before World War I have been utterly overlooked. Based on different sources concerning the recording session in Ljubljana in 1910, organized by the German company Favorite, this study sought to determine which Slovenian performers recorded for the company and how much and what material was recorded and later issued on the gramophone records for the Slovenian market.

This paper presents the effects of specific environmental factors (i.e., temperature, humidity, and light) on the life expectancy of physical digital recording media, with an emphasis on optical media. In general, a cleaner, cooler, drier, and more stable environment extends the life expectancy, and appropriate protection of individual types of carriers is based on understanding the vulnerability of the carrier and consequently on providing optimal storage conditions and appropriate handling.

Change is a part of the natural process of musical tradition. Slovenian researchers of tradition monitor such phenomena with great interest; it can be observed in the older sound recordings of folk music, and compared to today's situation. Social changes dictate the need to adapt music to the market; this is already noticeable in the old gramophone recordings from the early 20th century and is also present in today’s folk music, when folk musicians meet the requirements of performativity. The paper presents mainly the changes in the instrumental folk music, interpret the attitude of performers towards professional guidelines and presents dilemmas of the researcher being included in such processes.
