In this first interview recorded at SXSW Digital Music Trends talks to Butch Lazorchak, Digital Archivist at the Library of Congress. The Library has recently released a document called "The National Recording Preservation Plan" that details the steps it means to take towards the preservation of sound recordings. We chat about the challenges of sound preservation and the role that libraries can play, partnering with labels, copyright issues and much more.
